WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most commonly before puberty. The cause of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis is unknown. Some scoliosis cases in children are mild, but they do have the potential to progress rapidly as children grow.
It’s important to have your child evaluated by a qualified health care provider early to detect and prevent scoliosis progression as they age. Often times, full spine x-rays are necessary for proper evaluation. Severe scoliosis can be disabling and often leads to invasive surgeries if left untreated. Other types of scoliosis can stem from neurological disorders, certain spinal deformities, and for adults – traumatic injuries that were not treated effectively. These types of scoliosis require very specific evaluation.
