Each scoliosis is unique, and so is each patient’s case. Beyond this, however, the degrees of curvature play a big role in how different each scoliosis is.

While a lot of the talk about scoliosis causes, symptoms, & treatment focuses on children & adolescents, the topic of scoliosis in adults also merits attention.
Each case of scoliosis is unique but regardless of severity level or type of scoliosis, the main area of impact is the body’s natural symmetry and alignment.
Scoliosis can be subtle in its initial stages, making it hard to distinguish. But looking closely, changes to body symmetry is one of scoliosis's biggest telltales.
here are different types of scoliosis. One of the determinants is the scoliosis pattern, its location in the spine, and if the source is known or not.
If the vertebrae in the neck bend unnaturally, it creates issues to support the weight of the head. If it bends in the wrong direction that is a reversal of cervical lordosis.
The majority of scoliosis cases are idiopathic because the cause is not specific. However, levoscoliosis is more predictable because of its location on the spine.
The word “scoliosis” comes from Greece but defining it is complex due to its symptoms. Also, the fact that over 80% of scoliosis cases are not of a single known cause.
Scoliosis symptoms are as highly variable as the condition itself. The severity of the curve and location of the scoliosis will determine the type of symptoms.
A lot of times, scoliosis neck pain is associated with a loss of motion in the area. By assessing range of motion, I can treat the neck pain’s underlying cause.
To answer the question, can scoliosis weaken your immune system, we will consider the role of immune response in the condition’s most common form.
There are many scoliosis symptoms a person with the condition can develop. These symptoms can vary and change based on age, condition severity, and progression.
The spine’s healthy curvatures facilitate its overall health and function, but it can also develop unhealthy curves, such as an atypical cervical curvature.
For the question, what is scoliosis? we will explore key condition characteristics from early detection & diagnosis to the different forms & severity levels.
Knowing the early signs of scoliosis can make a big difference to how a condition responds to treatment; keep reading to learn the benefits of early detection.
As a complex condition, there are several different types of scoliosis a person can develop; degenerative scoliosis is one of the most common forms in adults.
The spine has three main sections with related healthy curvatures. Let’s explore these healthy curves & what it means to have a lateral curvature of the spine.
Symptoms, Treatment, and Surgery? WE DO KNOW THIS: Further Progression IS CERTAIN While more commonly diagnosed in adolescence, scoliosis can develop at any age. As a highly-complex condition, it can take many forms and range from mild to moderate, and severe. Keep reading to find out how we classify a patient’s condition on its severity […]
