Scoliosis is an unnatural sideways curvature of the spine with rotation that is associated with a twist or turning of the spine.
To be diagnosed with scoliosis, the cobb angle measurement needs to be over 10 degrees.
Osteoporosis is a condition that makes the bones brittle and prone to fractures, making them vulnerable to injury and compression fraction during the spine. Since bone is a living tissue that constantly repairs itself and breaks down old bone to replace it with new, this process is done by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoporosis is the inability of the body to replace old bone with new bone, leading to brittleness that can affect the vertebra, hips, and femur.
Scoliosis can affect all agents but is most prevalent in adolescents. Idiopathic scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed between 10-18 years of age, although it is also the most common diagnosis in adults.
Curves progress in the adult form in response to gravity over time. The progression is normally slow and steady over the years. The degree of progression is dependent on the size of the curve, so the bigger the curve in the adult stage, the faster it will progress.
Degenerative scoliosis is related to spine degeneration as a result of some misalignment that grows unresolved, and because of the asymmetrical weight bearing, it can lead to changes in the spine. One area of the spine has deteriorated while the rest of the spine is still healthy; this confirms it is not age-related since the entire spine would degenerate the same way instead of just the part where the scoliosis is present. This tells us that something generated this misalignment. It is most common in women and most frequently diagnosed around menopause between 50-55 years of age.
Older adults are more likely to develop osteoporosis. Women are more likely due to hormonal changes related to menopause. This means the same type of person, middle-aged women going through menopause or older adults, are also most likely to develop scoliosis.
Things are unclear as to whether one causes the other or it is coincidental that they happen at the same time. Both conditions affect the same areas. Both conditions impair spinal health, but scoliosis has been linked to low bone mass. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are stimulated by weight bearing, could there be a connection since more weight is one side that they're understimulated?
Studies show a higher rate of osteopenia in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, suggesting that scoliosis can be attributed to lower bone mass. At the same time, it could be backward since studies aren't conclusive. There is a correlation, but since we don't know which happens first, there is no concrete causation.
Both Scoliosi and osteoporosis leave people prone to injury and predisposed to spinal dysfunction and further progression of their spine. Both scoliosis and osteoporosis affect the bone of the spine; if you know you have scoliosis or osteoporosis and are within the age group where it is most prevalent, be sure to screen for the other as there is a high likelihood they happen together.
At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer proactive treatment to deal with the progressive nature of scoliosis. Our proactive nature works on strengthening and restoring function back to the spine, surrounding muscles, tissues, and alignment to provide long-lasting results.

sir pls make a video to identify the difference between lumbar s scoliosis and slip disk
and also to know whether it is levo or dextro
Thank you for the suggestion.
Lumbar scoliosis and slip disk (also known as a herniated disk or a bulging disk) are two distinct conditions that can affect the lower back. Here are the differences between the two:
Definition: Lumbar scoliosis refers to a sideways curvature of the spine in the lumbar (lower back) region, while slip disk refers to a condition where a spinal disk is displaced or protrudes out of its normal position.
Symptoms: Lumbar scoliosis may cause back pain, muscle fatigue, and uneven hips or shoulders. Slip disk may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet, depending on which nerve roots are affected.

I got osteoarthritis (at 40+) 1st, then...."mild scoliosis" at 52yrs old!!!
**Why, I got it the other way??? 🤔

A yoga instructor thought fascia may play a part in causing/healing scoliosis. Is that something you address?
