Scoliosis is a condition with abnormal curvature of the spine. There are multiple types of scoliosis based on when the scoliosis develops.

•  Infantile develops shortly after birth. These conditions are quite rare but, if left untreated, are typically devastating
• Adolescent occurs and progresses during puberty. Advice to parents of children with this condition is often to "wait and watch." This can be detrimental to managing and minimizing this spinal deformity. Parents with a family history of scoliosis should proactively screen these children with a doctor that is educated in scoliosis management. Often the curvature is not visible to the naked eye until significant deformity has occurred.
• The most common scoliosis that impacts our population is called denovo scoliosis. This scoliosis is caused by degeneration of the spine that causes buckling.

Diagnosing Scoliosis

Scoliosis is often easy to see right away without tools, but sometimes, an x-ray may be necessary. In some cases, scoliosis is a birth deformity that has already been diagnosed in childhood. There is often little information needed to diagnose this condition because it is discernible by looking at the curve of the spine from the exterior.
