Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a sideway curvature of spine and the
curvature may tend to left, right or both sides at the same, so people with
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis always have a “S”or ”C”-shaped spinal cord.
Cause
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis always occurs among children or teenagers
between 10 and 18 years old when their spine is growing. The word of idiopathic
indicates that there is no identified cause of this type of scoliosis. However
researches show that gene factors are closely related with the problem. For
example, people were found to have higher risk for being affected by adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis if their families have scoliosis as well. And we can treat
and predict the progression of scoliosis of children based on their families’
condition, such as when to attack and which side, even how serious.
Symptoms
Symptoms of scoliosis include back pain, leg length asymmetry and uneven
hips. Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may suffer from uneven back
and one shoulder higher than the other. It is necessary and important to treat
the disease earlier because as it is progressing, severe deformity may occur and
it will lead to a range of problems, such as pulmonary dysfunction. When
progressive scoliosis affects the lumbar spine, the pain can be
debilitating.
Treatment
Generally, different treatment is fit to different symptoms and severity.
Treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can be divided into 2 categories:
surgical and nonsurgical.
Scoliosis with curvature less than 15-20 degrees needs no special treatment.
Larger curves between 20-40 degrees are required with braces to prevent the
progression of curvature. Surgery treatment is only recommended for severer
curvature in excess of 40 degrees.
