UNDERSTANDING ADULT SCOLIOSIS

WHAT IS ADULT SCOLIOSIS

Adult scoliosis is an abnormal spine curve starting or worsening after age 18. Causes include aging, injuries, or untreated childhood scoliosis.

MAIN TYPES OF ADULT SCOLIOSIS

Three types exist: De Novo (adult-onset), Adult Idiopathic (from childhood), and Secondary (caused by injury or disease).

COMMON CAUSES

Degenerative disc disease, vertebral fractures, spinal wear, neuromuscular disorders, and injuries all contribute to adult scoliosis.

ROLE OF OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis weakens bones, causing fractures and spinal curvature. Women after menopause are at higher risk.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

INFLAMMATORY AND METABOLIC FACTORS

Conditions like arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, thyroid disorders, and vitamin deficiencies can affect spinal health and lead to scoliosis.

TRAUMA AND SURGERY EFFECTS

Spinal injuries or post-surgical complications can trigger scoliosis. Early or late onset depends on injury severity.

GENETICS AND CONGENITAL FACTORS

Family history and congenital spine abnormalities increase the risk. Some spinal issues appear only in adulthood.

LIFESTYLE AND RISK FACTORS

Poor posture, sedentary habits, heavy lifting, and repetitive spinal strain raise scoliosis risk. Regular exercise and proper posture help prevent progression.
