Scoliosis is highly prevalent, with approximately seven million people affected in the United States alone, making it the leading spinal condition among school-aged children. Many cases go undiagnosed, increasing the overall prevalence significantly. Scoliosis can affect individuals of all ages, from babies to the elderly, although it is most commonly diagnosed during adolescent stages, typically between the ages of 10 and 18, termed adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of diagnosis, accounting for 80% of known cases. The term ""idiopathic"" implies that there is no single identifiable cause, and it affects otherwise healthy individuals. Other forms of scoliosis include neuromuscular, congenital, and degenerative scoliosis, each associated with specific causes such as neuromuscular conditions, congenital malformations, or degenerative changes in older adults.
Despite the various types of scoliosis, the condition shares a common trait: progression. Scoliosis tends to worsen over time, with curves developing most rapidly during growth and development in adolescence. In adulthood, progression occurs more gradually but may accelerate in later stages of life, around 55 years of age or during menopause for women and later for men.
While scoliosis is not curable due to its idiopathic nature, it is highly treatable. Early diagnosis and treatment offer the best outcomes, as smaller curves are less structurally significant and more responsive to treatment. Structural rehabilitation methods, including physical therapy, corrective bracing, and hybrid care, aim to address the underlying structural issues of scoliosis rather than merely alleviating symptoms.
At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we advocate for proactive treatment of scoliosis to prevent progression. Treating smaller curves early on can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of developing severe curvature. While the exact cause of scoliosis may remain unknown, effective treatment focuses on addressing the structural aspects of the condition, providing patients with the best chance for improved spinal health and function.
