Scoliosis: Causes, Symptoms <\/a>and Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scoliosis is a medical condition where a person\u2019s spine curves sideways in an abnormal \u201cS\u201d or \u201cC\u201d shape. While a slight curve in the spine is normal, scoliosis refers to a curve greater than 10 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Scoliosis:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Idiopathic Scoliosis <\/strong>\u2013 Most common type; the cause is unknown. Often develops in adolescents.
2. Congenital Scoliosis<\/strong> \u2013 Caused by a malformation of the spine during fetal development.
3. Neuromuscular Scoliosis <\/strong>\u2013 Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury.
4. Degenerative Scoliosis<\/strong> \u2013 Occurs in older adults due to spinal degeneration (arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Uneven shoulders or waist
\u2022 One hip higher than the other
\u2022 Ribs sticking out on one side
\u2022 Back pain (especially in adults)
\u2022 Leaning to one side<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagnosis:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Physical exam: Adam\u2019s forward bend test
\u2022 Imaging: X-ray (most common), MRI or CT if needed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Observation <\/strong>\u2013 For mild cases (curves under 20\u00b0), especially in growing children.
2. Bracing<\/strong> \u2013 Helps prevent progression in children or teens with moderate scoliosis (curves between 25\u00b0\u201345\u00b0).
3. Chiropractor Treatment <\/strong>\u2013 May help with posture and pain, though it can reverse the curve
4. Surgery (Spinal Fusion) <\/strong>\u2013 Recommended for severe curves (usually over 45\u201350\u00b0) or when scoliosis causes significant symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with Scoliosis:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Many people lead normal, active lives.
\u2022Regular check-ups are important, especially during growth spurts.
\u2022Severe scoliosis may affect lung function or cause chronic pain if untreated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
