Scoliosis

Scoliosis has different severity and types; on its own it isn't a life-threatening condition. If left untreated, it can lead to complications that can impact quality of life.

Spinal conditions include scoliosis, an abnormal spinal curve, and stenosis, the narrowing of the spinal space, both affecting nerves to varying degrees.

Mild scoliosis is the initial stage of the condition, and how it's managed determines whether it remains mild or progresses to moderate or severe.

In children and adolescents, the main scoliosis symptom is postural deviation, and often, the condition’s earliest indicators are uneven shoulders and hips. 

Scoliosis introduces a lot of uneven forces to the body, which is why one of its main symptoms is postural deviation, involving a disruption to the body’s overall symmetry.

Scoliosis is a spinal condition that worsens over time and can have serious effects if left untreated. The sideways curve grows larger and introduces uneven forces to the body.

Scoliosis isn't just a concern for teens and adults; it can also affect young children. Juvenile early onset scoliosis falls under pediatric scoliosis.

Scoliosis, a complex spinal condition, has varied treatment options with different outcomes. Surgery weakens the spine, whereas a conservative approach avoids it.

The best time to start scoliosis treatment is always now. With early detection and proactive treatment, there are fewer limits to what can be achieved.

Combining an Adam’s forward bend test with the use of a Scoliometer is standard when it comes to screening for condition indicators.

Approximately 7 million people currently are diagnosed with scoliosis in the United States. It is the most-prevalent spinal condition among school-aged children.

Scoliosis symptoms depend on a number of key patient/condition variables; patient age, for example, shapes whether or not a condition is likely to be painful.

Scoliosis surgery can work by straightening a crooked spine, but how it’s achieved can cost the spine in terms of its overall health, strength, and function.

The complex nature of scoliosis requires the customization of effective treatment plans, which demand a certain level of scoliosis-specific training, certifications, and experience.

Spinal fusion surgery commonly involves fusing the most-tilted vertebrae, at the curve’s apex, into one solid bone; a fused spine is fused for life.

In adult scoliosis, the main symptom is pain, both localized back pain and pain throughout the body. In adolescents, its the visual symptoms it causes: changes to posture and gait.

Celebration, Florida’s Scoliosis Reduction Center can deliver from chiropractic care to physical therapy, corrective bracing, and rehabilitation.

While scoliosis surgery can prevent a condition from worsening, the way in which it’s achieved can impact a person’s spine in terms of its natural strength and function.
