Scoliosis can affect individuals of all ages, and the age of the patient plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate treatment and assessing the risk of progression.
Infantile Scoliosis: Some babies are born with scoliosis, known as congenital scoliosis, due to abnormal vertebrae development in utero. It may not be diagnosed until later in life.
Juvenile Scoliosis: Diagnosed between ages three and eleven or pre-puberty.
Adolescent Scoliosis: Typically diagnosed between ages ten and skeletal maturity (usually between fourteen and twenty).
Adult Scoliosis: Occurs when the patient is fully skeletal mature.
The most common type of scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis, which constitutes about eighty percent of all cases. It lacks a known cause, typically diagnosed in adolescence but can persist into adulthood. The remaining twenty percent have associated causes, such as congenital scoliosis, neuromuscular conditions (like cerebral palsy), or degenerative scoliosis.
In children, scoliosis often presents as postural deviation or mild asymmetry, which may go undiagnosed. In contrast, adults with scoliosis commonly experience back pain, particularly low back pain radiating to the extremities. Pain in adults is primarily attributed to the compressive effects of scoliosis, as their bodies cannot adapt as well as growing children.
Pain and progression in adults are not solely dependent on the curve's size but on how much it progresses in adulthood. A smaller curve with adult progression can cause more pain than a larger, stable curve. The compression due to gravity becomes a source of discomfort.
Treatment goals differ for adolescents and adults. In adolescents, the aim is to reduce the curve below surgical thresholds to avoid surgery. However, in adults, surgery may not even be an option due to the invasiveness and potential recovery challenges. Treatment for adults focuses on slowing progression, reducing the curve, and managing pain and function over their lifetime.
Conservative treatment is preferred for adults because surgery is invasive, particularly for older patients. Specific scoliosis-focused conservative treatment includes a multi-modal approach involving therapy, rehabilitation, corrective bracing, and chiropractic care. These therapies aim to reshape the curvature and stabilize the new shape to achieve long-lasting results.
While scoliosis is often associated with children, the largest population with scoliosis is adults. Regardless of age, earlier treatment yields better results. Adult scoliosis patients usually don't progress rapidly, providing some time to explore treatment options. However, waiting for prolonged periods can lead to a less favorable outcome. Treating scoliosis sooner rather than later is advisable, as early intervention enhances the chances of a positive outcome.
In summary, scoliosis treatment varies depending on the patient's age, and adults with scoliosis can experience back pain, necessitating a specific approach to manage their condition effectively. Early intervention and tailored conservative treatments can help adults with scoliosis improve their quality of life and alleviate discomfort.

love this video especially when the doctor said that he could tell that an impact happed in a young adult life but never got treated, this happened to me while serve in in the military. I was accepted with mild scoliosis (age 17) and suffered a trauma while serving in the military in the form of many slips and falls while serving on two aircraft carriers.

That would also be helpful for me as well. I was fitted for a brace also, but I don't know the name of it. It looks like a regular back brace with a piece of metal attached to it that goes underneath my left arm all the way down to my hip. It's the most uncomfortable contraption I've ever had in my life. My chiropractor told me it was a waste of time and money. He doesn't believe in braces. There's so much different information out here You don't know what to believe. Insurance paid for mine otherwise I couldn't afford a $5,000 brace.
Also, it was a brilliant video explaining the different types of scoliosis. I had never heard that before either. It also makes sense that mine is degenerative in the lumbar. Most people say you had it as a child but I was checked in grade school and was told I didn't.
Having degenerative scoliosis would make sense for me since after having an x-ray I was told that my lower spine had been fractured about 20 years earlier but I wasn't aware of it. My chiropractor viewed my MRI and told me that all my discomfort and issues all stemmed from that fracture. He could tell by looking at the MRI and he showed it to me.
There is actually a little hump in my back where the fracture is but I don't know if anything could have been done about it if I had known anyway.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do your videos.
I sometimes feel so helpless, hopeless, and desperate because of the pain and feeling like there's nothing that can be done. At least knowing what you're working with can at least help define how to fix it hopefully. Thanks again so much.

This is by far one of the best videos that you have uploaded, thank you so much. It was so informational and helpful. I'm wondering if you have the information of any clinics in Arizona that are similar to yours that would be really helpful.
Also I was wondering if maybe you could put a video out of what corrective brace works for said situation I know it's Unique for everybody but I'm wondering if there's a General chart saying this brace is good for this scenario versus this brace. I have the Providence brace but I don't know if that's the right one for me I didn't have a choice, my chiropractor sized me for it and that's what I got. I'm wondering if another brace would be more helpful for my situation it's only a nighttime brace I really feel like I need something during the day so all the work that's done at night time with the brace doesn't go to waste. I'm using a mix of things right now during the day to for the pain and to hold the work I do at night but it's something I concocted and I don't know what else to do I'm wondering if you have any information on braces or if you could put a video out on braces that are good during the day and ones at night that would be wonderful and if not I appreciate all the videos you put out they've really been helpful for me in my journey this past year and a half I don't know what I would do without them.
