Scoliosis is defined as a partly-fixed lateral curvature of the spine. Its origins may lie in an injury, hereditary disease or other identifiable causes, however over 80% of scoliosis cases are said to be idiopathic or unknown. This does not mean that there is no cause for 80% of scoliosis cases, just that doctors do not know how to find the cause. Although a significant volume of medical research into aetiology has been conducted, no conclusive evidence as to one single cause has been documented. Most mainstream scoliosis treatments therefore approach and treat scoliosis symptomatically.

What Causes Scoliosis?

About 80% of scoliosis cases are described as “idiopathic” - the cause is said to be unknown, while only about 20% of scoliosis cases have an identifiable cause - an injury, rickets, paralysis, bone deformity, leg length inequality, genetic predisposition, muscle imbalance etc.

Prevention is always better than cure. However, it is difficult to prevent a disease like idiopathic Scoliosis, which has no known cause. Even if the cause is known, as in congenital Scoliosis, further research is required to prevent its occurrence. Therefore, Treatment is vital in Scoliosis.

Scoliosis Exercise: Effective Option for Pain Relief
Posted in Articles
By Paul D Osborne
Scoliosis is a condition in which a person has side-to-side spinal curves in addition to the normal curves through which the lower portion of the human back curves inwards. The most effective remedy for such a condition is Scoliosis exercises. Although many exercises help in reducing the Scoliosis-related problems, active stretching is considered the best Scoliosis exercise.

Scoliosis - Diseases

What is it?
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that may affect any segment of the spine. The curve may be convex to the right (more common in chest-level curves) or to the left (more common in lower back curves). The spine may be rotated around its axis, deforming the rib cage. Scoliosis is often associated with humpback and swayback.
What causes it?
The deformity of scoliosis may be structural, in which the spinal curvature is fixed, or functional, in which the spine is temporarily deformed from poor posture or uneven leg heights.
Structural scoliosis may result from an Read the rest
Rolfing And Scoliosis
Posted in Articles
By John R. Barton
Rotoscoliosis is a pathology that is ongoing and continuous over time and is always falling out of balance. The central nervous system is the initiator of scoliosis and manifests as rotation, counter-rotation, and compression in the structure and tissue. Since the body is eighty percent water, it is hard to comprehend how rotoscoliotic bodies become so cemented. The fixation of the pathology distributes the asymmetry system wide and especially affects lung capacity, heart space, and body geometry. Certified Rolfing provides the opportunity of the receiver of the ten series to find a deeper felt sense of what it is like to be inside of a dynamic, fluid filled, uninhibited body. Read the rest
Scoliosis Braces

By Kent Pinkerton
Bracing is a widely accepted treatment for Scoliosis, especially in the case of children and adolescents. The Brace is customized to suit the different needs of patients, and primarily used to prevent the spinal curve from worsening during the growing age. It cannot rectify the existing spinal curve in Scoliosis patients.
Bracing is recommended for patients with curves measuring between 25 to 40 degrees and showing a progression of 5 degrees or more, every 4 to 6 months. Patients who have not attained complete skeletal growth tend to benefit most from bracing. Read the rest
Pregnancy and Scoliosis
Posted in Articles
By Kent Pinkerton
Scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that causes a sideways S- or C-shaped curvature to develop over time. Scoliosis is not a reason to avoid pregnancy. It does not cause any major risks to the fetus or physical limitations to the child. The effects of pregnancy on patients with scoliosis are examined in terms of increased risk of progression of the curvature of spine. Some studies show that patients lost 2, 6, and 18 degrees of correction during their first pregnancies. But the curves Read the rest
Infantile Scoliosis
Posted in Articles
By Kent Pinkerton
Scoliosis that occurs in infants, and is noticeable when the child is aged between 2 months and 3 years, is called Infantile Scoliosis. This disease is characterized by curvature of the spine that often rectifies itself with the passage of time. Infantile Scoliosis is a rare disease, and occurs more commonly in Europe than in the US.
Although there is agreement among medical practitioners that Read the rest
