Q:

Can we predict how scoliosis will affect a person over the long term?

A:

There are two main factors that can help determine how scoliosis might affect someone. The first one is the cause of the scoliosis. If the scoliosis is due to an unknown cause (most of the cases), it is generally harmless. On the other hand, if the scoliosis is caused by something dangerous, such as a tumour, this can change the longer-term picture. The other main factor in scoliosis is how fast it is progressing, or worsening.

Q:

Is acne caused by dirty skin?

A:

It is easy to assume that acne is caused by having a dirty face, and a poor hygiene routine. However, this is not the case. If you have acne and are having a hard time treating it with over-the-counter options, you should speak with your family physician about other treatment options that may help you.

Q:

What are the Treatment Options for Glaucoma

A:

Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP). Your eyes have clear liquid that flows in and out, but if you have glaucoma, this liquid doesn’t drain properly, causing this buildup of IOP pressure.
