Click here for some interesting info on scoliosis and physical therapy Sc ol iosis is defined as a lateral or rotary curvature of the spine. Scoliosis is common in most connective tissue disorders including Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, Ehlers-Danlos, osteogenesis imperfecta, the MASS phenotype and mitral valve prolapse syndrome. Scoliosis is a feature of rickets, a condition in which bones become soft and decalcified. Scoliosis with no known cause is called "idiopathic" scoliosis. The term "idiopathic" scoliosis may becoming dated, as recent studies show a clear link between scoliosis and lowered bone densities.

    Extractions: This is a discussion of congenital scoliosis, NOT idiopathic scoliosis. I was born with hemi-vertebra and vertebra which failed to segment on one side. This problem occurred in the developing fetus. That's what congenital scoliosis is. It was nothing my mother did to cause it. It was nothing I did to cause it. It just happened. The picture below is of two t-spine x-rays taken three years apart. I held the x-rays up to a window and then snapped a picture. On the left is an x-ray of 1997 when I was age 51. On the right is an x-ray of 1994 when I was age 48. The major curve is about 65-degrees in 1994 and about 85-degrees in 1997. The other compensating curves are not pictured. This is the way I have appeared for my entire life. There were no treatments for congenital scoliosis when I was a child. My scoliosis was first detected by a casual observer when I was 5 years old. It was already as bad as it appears in these x-rays. The congenital malformations are most obvious at the T4-T8 levels. The vertebra in this area are not distinctly visible on the x-ray. Notice the ribs just to the right of the spine. It appears as if these were joined as one rib which eventually split into individual ribs further out from the right side of the spine. Without these abnormalities, there is no scoliosis at all. Congenital scoliosis is about five percent of all scoliosis cases. Congenital scoliosis is really bad developmental luck. No one is to blame. I can't stress this enough. I have read e-mail from parents who thought they were to blame for their child's scoliosis. No one is to blame for this bad developmental luck. Could have been much worse luck with more to overcome. Could have been blind, could have been deaf, could have been any number of worse things in addition to scoliosis.

    Extractions: Everyone's spine has curves . These curves produce the normal rounding of the shoulder and the sway of the lower back. A spine with scoliosis has abnormal curves with a rotational deformity . This means that the spine turns on its axis like a corkscrew. Compare the more subtle curve of the normal spine to the severe curvature of the scoliotic spine. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine which may have its onset in infancy but is most frequently seen in adolescence . It is more common in females by a 2:1 ratio. However, when curves in excess of 30 degrees are evaluated, females are more frequently affected by a ration of approximately 8-10:1. The cause of the most common form of scoliosis idiopathic scoliosis is unknown, but there are certainly hereditary factors that are present. Scoliosis causes shoulder, trunk and waistline asymmetry . In mild forms, the condition may be barely noticed; whereas in severe forms there is significant disfigurement, back pain and postural fatigue, and it may be associated with heart failure. Fortunately the majority of scoliosis cases need only close follow-up to watch for worsening of the curve. Some cases require more aggressive treatment which could include surgery (see below).
