Scoliosis is a medical condition marked by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which affects individuals of all ages, including both children and adults. The degree of curvature differs and can occur at various sections of the spine.

The primary indicator is the three-dimensional alteration in the spine, which includes spinal rotation in addition to side-to-side (Lateral) bending of the spine. These abnormal spinal curvatures fall into the category of STRUCTURAL Scoliosis, which can be further classified into the following types:

1. Congenital – Present at infancy, developed in utero.
2. Adolescent Idiopathic – Arising during adolescence.
3. Degenerative – Manifesting later in life, typically age-related.
4. Neuromuscular – Spinal deformity resulting from muscle weakness or diseases.
5. Structural scoliosis is generally more serious since it does not rectify on its own and may lead to progressive spinal deformity.

NON-STRUCTURAL (FUNCTIONAL) Scoliosis, on the other hand, arises from a temporary condition and involves only lateral curvature of the spine, without spinal rotation. As such, the structural integrity of the spine is maintained.

Chiropractic care often addresses STRUCTURAL Scoliosis that is idiopathic & degenerative in nature, as well as FUNCTIONAL Scoliosis. Thorough assessments are essential for these conditions, incorporating diagnostic imaging in consideration of the individual’s age and curvature angle ranges.
