What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition that affects the spine. It can make the spine curve sideways, and it can make it difficult to stand and move correctly. Scoliosis often happens during childhood, but it can also develop in adults. There are different types of scoliosis, and the cause is usually unknown. However, some cases of scoliosis are linked to conditions like cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
There are several different types of scoliosis that can affect children and adults. The most common form is known as idiopathic scoliosis, which causes a right-sided curve in adolescents ages 10 to 14 years old.
Ankylosing spondylitis is another type of scoliosis that affects young people between ages 15 to 20. It can also occur in older adults over 50 with long-term back pain.
Other types include congenital scoliosis or structural scoliosis caused by bones or muscles imbalances, tumors, injuries, weight problems, fractures, arthritis deformities, aging etc…
Many times, those dealing with scoliosis can get relief from chiropractic care.
