Scoliosis is being diagnosed to more than three million patients per year in the United States. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. Whoever suffers from scoliosis has their backbone curve to the side. The angle of the curve may be small, large or somewhere in between. It can form a “c” or a “s” into someone's back. The curve that forms a “c” or a “s” may not directly look at the spine but one way is to notice the way someone is standing. The way someone is standing is very important because it will let you know whether they have scoliosis. There are three different type of scoliosis. The first one is called nonstructural scoliosis which is when your spine works normally but looks curved. This happens because such one legs being …show more content…
It is accompanied by a sudden burst of pain and inflammations. The second one is structural scoliosis and it is the curve of the spine which is rigid which is unable to bend and cannot be reserved. The third one is called Idiopathic scoliosis and is when scoliosis arise spontaneously or the cause is unknown. One way to find out someone is suffering from any of this is if they lean a little or have shoulders and hips that look uneven. Scoliosis is being diagnosed during the teen years through the age of 10-15. It reaches in early childhood right before the child can hit puberty. Scoliosis can be continue into adulthood. It all depends the greater the angles is of the spine curve, and is more likely it is to increase over time. It is more likely for it to attack girls ten more times than boys. Some childrens already come with scolices since the womb of their mother. It is called Congenital scoliosis. It all begins as the baby’s back develop before birth. The problems is with tiny bones in the back called vertebrae. The vertebrae causes spine to curve. The spine may be incomplete or can fail to be divided …show more content…
Congenital scoliosis is a birth defect caused by inborn spinal deformities that usually involve abnormalities in the development of vertebra. Occurring in 1 of 10,000 newborns, congenital scoliosis can be present due to incomplete formation of vertebrae, failure of separation of vertebrae, combination of bars and hemivertebrae, or compensatory curves. Neuromuscular scoliosis is a curvature of the spine caused by disorders to the brain, spinal cord, and muscular system. They can affect the muscle-nerve pathways of the body from the brain down to the spinal cord, and can affect one's ability to maintain proper balance. Neuromuscular scoliosis may result from a variety of causes and affected patients frequently showed increased risks for skin ulcers, lung problems, and significant pain. Accounting for over 80% of scoliosis cases, idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis that usually affects children during the growth spurt right before and during adolescence around ages 10-18. Unfortunately, the cause of idiopathic scoliosis is unknown. However, the current consensus is that is it a multifactorial process that includes altered biological factors, genetics, physical abnormalities, melatonin production, connective tissue disorder, skeletal muscle abnormalities, contractile protein dysfunction, or a nerve function
