Scoliosis Treatment (click for worldwide facilities list): Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis runs in families, but doctors often don't know the cause. More girls than boys have severe scoliosis. Adult scoliosis may be a worsening of a condition that began in childhood, but wasn't diagnosed or treated. In other cases, scoliosis may result from a degenerative joint condition in the spine
If a scoliosis curve gets worse, the spine will also rotate or twist, in addition to curving side to side. This causes the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can cause back pain and difficulty breathing.
While most people with scoliosis have a mild form of the disorder, scoliosis may sometimes cause complications, including: lung and heart damage, back problems, and body image problems.
Adults who had scoliosis as children are more likely to have chronic back pain than are people in the general population. Also, people with untreated scoliosis may develop arthritis of the spine.
The decision to treat scoliosis is based on many factors. While there are guidelines for mild, moderate and severe curves, the decision to begin treatment is always made on an individual basis. Treatment decisions depend on your child's age, maturity, sex, family history, curve size on X-rays and how much he or she is likely to grow.
