  2. Scoliosis In the condition of Scoliosis, the spine curves sideways. Everybody's spine is at least a little curved, nobody has a perfectly straight backbone but an abnormal lateral or sideways curvature of the spine. Most of the time it occurs in the teenage group and the cause is unknown which is known as teenage Idiopathic Scoliosis and the majority of scoliosis occurs in females. www.punespine.com

  3. Types of Scoliosis 1. Idiopathic Scoliosis 2. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis 3. Adult Scoliosis www.punespine.com

  4. 1. Idiopathic Scoliosis  Idiopathic scoliosis develops in childhood. It can be divided into early-initiation idiopathic scoliosis and late-initiation idiopathic scoliosis. Early-initiation scoliosis occurs between birth and 9 years of age.  Generally, the earlier the age of scoliosis initiation, the more severe and disabling it may become. Early-initiation scoliosis can result in major lung problems due to lack of normal lung development and sometimes can progress rapidly. www.punespine.com

  5. 2. AdolescentIdiopathic Scoliosis  Also known as Late-initiation scoliosis typically presents between 10 to 17 years of age. Adolescent Scoliosis is most common in females society, and mostly affect the thoracic (upper) spine and rib cage.  The lungs are usually developed by this period and so lung problems are usually not as simple unless the scoliosis is quite major (over 80 degrees curve).  For children under 14 years of age who have a large growth spurt, immediate treatment is recommended in most cases. www.punespine.com

  6. 3. Adult scoliosis Adult scoliosis is a spinal deformity in a skeletally mature patient with a Cobb angle of more than 10 degrees in the coronal plain. Adult scoliosis can be categorized into two major groups : 1. Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis -Those adult patients who have had scoliosis since childhood or teenage come under this category. 2. Degenerative Scoliosis ( Adult “De Novo” ) -This develops in mature age i.e from age 18. Degenerative scoliosis develops as an result of disc and facet joint degeneration. www.punespine.com

  7. Causes of Scoliosis  In approximately 80% of cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown due to its Idiopathic nature ( i.e. Roughly 8 out of 10 cases are Idiopathic Scoliosis ). As mentioned above it usually develops when the patient’s age is between 10 and 17 years old, approximately coinciding with the initiation of teens.  Scoliosis can also rise as a result of essential medical conditions such as - a) Muscular dystrophy b) Cerebral palsy c) Marfansyndrome  Sometimes, a baby will be born with scoliosis because of the way their spine developed in the uterus; vice versa, some types of scoliosis don't develop until old age. www.punespine.com
