Scoliosis
About
Scoliosis is a progressive, lateral curvature of the spine. When viewed from the side, the spine should have curves. But when viewed from the front, the spine should be straight. Scoliosis can affect both children and adults. Scoliosis is more than 10 degrees of curve, with rotation of the vertebrae.
It is important to have children checked for scoliosis. If detected early enough, there is greater scope for treatment.
Types of Scoliosis
The most common type of scoliosis is “adolescent idiopathic scoliosis”. Idiopathic means “of unknown origin”. Research into the cause of scoliosis suggests that there may be a genetic factor which affects the control of the growth of the spine.
Scoliosis can affect both children and adults. In young children it is a very serious condition as it can rapidly progress as the child grows.
Scoliosis is usually first detected in children between the ages of 11 and 15. However, it can occur in younger children aged 3 to 10 years (juvenile scoliosis) and
in babies (infantile scoliosis). Scoliosis can also occur in adults with no previous history, due to spinal degeneration and advancing age. This is called De Novo Scoliosis
The symptoms of scoliosis include:
- Poor posture
- Shoulder humping
- Muscle weakness
- Pain
- Heart and lung problems (when advanced)
Early diagnosis is key
It is important to have children regularly checked for scoliosis. If detected early enough, there is greater scope for treatment. The first hint that scoliosis may be developing is the appearance of abnormal posture. Slouching, one shoulder higher than the other, one hip higher than the other, or uneven shoulder blades are all signs that a person might have scoliosis.
There are treatments available
If your child is diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, it is important to remember there are a number of treatment options available. When diagnosed early, scoliosis symptoms can often be avoided and correctional improvements made all while children live normal lives.
