MAIN CAUSES OF SCOLIOSIS

Understanding why scoliosis develops helps people manage spinal health and prevent curve progression.

WHAT IS SCOLIOSIS

Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine that can appear in childhood or adulthood.

IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

This is the most common type. It develops without a clear cause but often appears during growth.

GENETIC  FACTORS

Family history raises the risk. Certain genes influence spinal development and curve progression.

CONGENITAL CAUSES

Some babies are born with spine formation issues that lead to early scoliosis.

NEUROMUSCULAR CAUSES

Conditions like cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy weaken muscles and affect spinal alignment.

DEGENERATIVE CHANGES

Age related disc wear, osteoporosis, and spinal imbalance can cause scoliosis in adults.

TRAUMA AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Injury, tumors, infections, or past treatments like radiation can alter spinal structure.

KEY RISK FACTORS

Curve severity, age, growth speed, and gender can influence how fast scoliosis progresses.
