Adult scoliosis is an abnormal
curvature of the spine to either left or right. It can develop as an untreated
childhood curvature or as an adult degenerative scoliosis. However, there’s no
specific cause of its occurrence, but most often it happens due to asymmetric
degeneration (wear and tear) of spinal elements.
The commonest symptoms are back
pain, difficulty in breathing or lungs functioning (in serious cases), trunk
imbalance, deformity, problem while walking. Many patients dealing with the
same don’t even require surgery. And can be treated with moist heat,
medications, physical therapies and exercise. However, in severe cases, surgery
is the only option left.
