Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often resembling an "S" or "C" shape. While it can develop at any age, scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed during adolescence. The severity of scoliosis varies, with some cases causing minimal discomfort and others leading to significant pain, reduced mobility, and complications with posture or organ function. Early detection and proper care can make a significant difference in managing the condition.
Common Causes of Scoliosis
Idiopathic Scoliosis: Most cases have no known cause, often appearing in children and teenagers during growth spurts.
Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by abnormal spinal development before birth.
Neuromuscular Conditions: Conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy may lead to scoliosis due to muscle imbalance.
Degenerative Scoliosis: Develops in adulthood as a result of spinal wear and tear, often linked to arthritis or disc degeneration.
Trauma or Injuries: Accidents or spinal injuries can sometimes lead to scoliosis.
