Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine
that occurs most often during the growth spurt
just before puberty. While scoliosis can be
caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and
muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis
is unknown. Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways
curvature of the spine measuring at least 10
degrees on an x-ray. While scoliosis is not a
disease, in rare cases it can be caused by a
disease. More often, however, scoliosis develops
from an unknown cause during adolescence or
3. Structural vs. Nonstructural
Scoliosis
There are two general categories for scoliosis:
Structural scoliosis is by far the most common
category of scoliosis. It involves spinal rotation in
addition to the side-to-side curvature of the spine.
This type of scoliosis affects the spine’s structure
and is considered permanent unless the spine
receives treatment.
4. Nonstructural scoliosis, also known as functional
scoliosis, results from a temporary cause and
only involves a side-to-side curvature of the spine
(no spinal rotation). The spine’s structure is still
normal.
5. If a person with nonstructural scoliosis were to bend
forward or lay down, the scoliosis curve would likely
go away while held in that position.
Structural scoliosis is typically considered more
serious because it does not straighten out on its own
and can potentially result in more spinal deformity.
6. Types of Structural Scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis accounts for about 8 in 10
cases of scoliosis. This type of scoliosis typically
presents during adolescence, but it can also start
earlier in childhood or infancy. What causes
idiopathic scoliosis is currently unknown. Some
research indicates genetics plays a part, but other
factors are also likely involved and continue to be
studied.
7. Degenerative scoliosis (adult scoliosis is a
common condition that occurs later in life as the
joints in the spine degenerate. Read more about
adult scoliosis.
Neuromuscular scoliosis sometimes develops
in individuals who cannot walk due to a
neuromuscular condition such as muscular
dystrophy or cerebral palsy. This type of scoliosis
may also be called myopathic scoliosis.
8. Congenital scoliosis develops in utero and is
present in infancy. A rare condition, affecting 1 in
10,000, it can result from malformations in the
vertebrae or other causes. In most cases the
spinal curve must be corrected surgically.
Rarely, scoliosis is caused by a spinal lesion or
tumor. Usually, patients who are younger (age 8
to 11) than typical scoliosis patients will
experience symptoms such as pain, numbness
and a left-curving thoracic spine. A physician who
sees any or a combination of these symptoms will
order additional diagnostic tests, such as an MRI,
to rule out the possibility of spinal tumor or other
lesions as a cause of scoliosis.
9. Common Causes of Nonstructural
Scoliosis
While non-structural scoliosis is relatively
uncommon, here are some ways it can occur:
Muscle spasms. If a major muscle in the back
starts to spasm, the spine could be pulled in one
direction and a sideways curve may result.
Difference in leg heights. When one leg is
significantly longer than the other, a scoliosis
curve may be present while standing.
10. Inflammation. If an area of the body to one side
of the spine or the other starts to become
inflamed, a scoliosis curve can result. Some
possible causes could be appendicitis or
pneumonia.
