Scoliosis<\/strong><\/p>\r\nScoliosis occurs when there is a lateral bend on the spine that can structural or functional in nature.

The site of injury is usually on the lateral epicondyle for tennis elbow and medial epicondyle for the golfer\u2019s elbow. The medial and lateral epicondyles are the site on the bone where these muscles are attached.
