Scoliosis Treatment Cambridge

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine to one side. In those who have the condition, the spine bends either to the left or to the right. The bend can occur at any point along the spine, from the top to the bottom. The curvature can also vary from slight to severe. However, the chest area (thoracic scoliosis) and the lower part of the back (lumbar scoliosis) are the most common regions to be affected.

Scoliosis can develop at any time during childhood and adolescence. It is more common in girls than boys, most commonly occurring at the start of adolescence.

In approximately 80% of scoliosis cases, the causes are unknown (idiopathic).

Scoliosis is normally not a serious condition, but treatment is essential. Left untreated, the curve of the spine can worsen and cause damage to the spine, chest, pelvis, heart and lungs.
