Scoliosis The pain is probably not coming from the curve, but rather from the degeneration occurring in the spine. A combination of the degeneration of the spine and scoliosis deformity may cause pressure on nerves and possibly even the spinal cord. This can lead to weakness, numbness, tingling and pain in the lower extremities.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine to one side. In people with the condition, the spine bends either to the left or right. The curvature in the spine can vary from being slight to severe. A brace cannot cure scoliosis or correct the curve, but it may stop the curve from getting worse. However, while there is some evidence bracing may be of benefit in certain cases, it’s not recommended by all scoliosis specialists. If a brace is used, it will need to be carefully fitted to your child's spine.

Scoliosis Scoliosis affects about 2% of females and 0.5% of males. In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown (known as idiopathic). This type of scoliosis is described based on the age when scoliosis develops, as are other some other types of scoliosis. If the person is less than 3 years old, it is called infantile idiopathic scoliosis.

""" ""If I have mild scoliosis, could it be causing my severe back pain and headaches?"" """ Scoliosis, as you already know, is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which may develop as a single curve shaped like the letter C or as two curves shaped like the letter S. A curvature of the spine can definitely cause aches and pains due to misalignment of the core skeleton.

John J. Degenerative scoliosis, also known as adult scoliosis or adult onset scoliosis, describes a side-to-side curvature of the spine cause by degeneration of the facet joints.The condition occurs most frequently occurs in people over 65 years of age.hen the pain is severe, physicians must determine: 1  If the degenerative scoliosis itself is causing pain or; 2  Whether or not other conditions (such as a muscle strain) are causing the patient's pain, and if the scoliosis is incidental.

Scoliosis Scoliosis is a medical condition where your spine is curved from side to side. The spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an S than a straight line. Approximately 2% of the population will have a scoliotic curvature in their spine and approximately 10% of these are severe.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine to one side. In people with the condition, the spine bends either to the left or right. The curvature in the spine can vary from being slight to severe. Scoliosis that is present at birth is called congenital scoliosis. Congenital scoliosis is rare. It occurs as a result of malformations of the spine that are caused by the bones in the spine developing abnormally in the womb .It can occur in children who have rare birth defects.

Overview Scoliosis is where the spine twists and curves to the side. It can affect people of any age, from babies to adults, but most often starts in children aged 10-15. Scoliosis doesn't normally improve without treatment, but it isn't usually a sign of anything serious and treatment isn't always needed if it's mild.

What Is Scoliosis and What Causes It? Scoliosis diagnosed during the teen years can continue into adulthood. The greater the angle of the spine curve, the more likely it is to increase over time. If you had scoliosis in the past, have your doctor check your back regularly. Degenerative scoliosis affects adults. It usually develops in the lower back as the disks and joints of the spine begin to wear out as you age.

A Patient's Guide to Degenerative Adult Scoliosis If the degeneration and the scoliosis have caused a condition called spinal stenosis, surgery may be recommended. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that causes pressure on the spinal cord itself. Spinal stenosis results from spinal degeneration that has led to the growth of bone spurs.

Scoliosis Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine—in addition to the normal front to back curvature—has an abnormal side-to-side “S”- or “C”-shaped curvature. The spine is also rotated or twisted, pulling the ribs along with it to form a multidimensional curve.

Scoliosis - Symptoms Pain in a teen who has scoliosis may be a sign of another problem, such as a bone or spinal tumor. If your child has pain with scoliosis, it is very important that he or she see a doctor to find out what is causing the pain. Some other conditions, such as kyphosis, cause symptoms similar to scoliosis.

Scoliosis In scoliosis, the spine curves to the side when viewed from the front, and each involved vertebra also twists on the next one in a corkscrew fashion. This twisting is known as rotoscoliosis. This may cause one shoulder to be higher than the other or one side of the ribcage or lower back to be more prominent (humpback). If there is both a sidewise curvature and increase in the outward curvature of the upper back, this condition is called kyphoscoliosis.

Overview Symptoms and causes. Symptoms. If a scoliosis curve gets worse, the spine will also rotate or twist, in addition to curving side to side. This causes the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Go to your doctor if you notice signs or symptoms of scoliosis in your child. Mild curves, however, can develop without the parent or child knowing it because they appear gradually and usually don't cause pain. Occasionally, teachers, friends and sports teammates are the first to notice a child's scoliosis. Causes.

Overview However, in people with scoliosis, the spine also develops a side-to-side curvature. This usually happens during the growth spurt that begins just before puberty. A scoliosis curve can be C-or S-shaped. In severe cases, the spine will rotate and twist, causing the ribs to stick out more on one side. Most cases of scoliosis are mild and cause no health problems. In severe cases, the twisting of the spine and ribs reduces space within the chest cavity. This can interfere with breathing and put strain on the heart.

- These types are called: 1  Congenital — Congenital scoliosis is present at birth and is usually the result of a malformed or unusually fused vertebrae. 2  Neuromuscular — Abnormalities in the body’s muscle-nerve pathways, as with conditions like cerebral palsy or spina bifida, cause this type of scoliosis.

Scoliosis According to the Scoliosis Research Society, scoliosis is defined as a curvature of the spine measuring 10 degrees or greater. Scoliosis is a type of spinal deformity and should not be confused with poor posture. Spinal curvature from scoliosis may occur on the right or left side of the spine, or on both sides in different sections. Both the thoracic (mid) and lumbar (lower) spine may be affected by scoliosis. What causes scoliosis? In more than 80 percent of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown - a condition called idiopathic scoliosis.

Scoliosis Scoliosis can be classified by etiology: idiopathic, congenital or neuromuscular. Idiopathic scoliosis is the diagnosis when all other causes are excluded and comprises about 80 percent of all cases. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type of scoliosis and is usually diagnosed during puberty.

Scoliosis Symptoms Scoliosis symptoms may also include discomfort caused by associated spinal conditions that have developed. For instance, scoliosis tends to place an increased amount of pressure on the intervertebral discs and facet joints of the spine, which can cause them to degenerate at an accelerated pace.
