Firstly, adult Scoliosis is a curve of the spine. In most patients, no surgery is needed; however, in patients who have an excessive curve and it compromises breathing or walking, surgery can help correct those complications. Also adult Scoliosis can vary from a minor problem, where it just needs to be watched, to chronic pain and a severe deformity.
PEDIATRIC SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of
Richardson TX
More often than not, children with scoliosis can be treated with a brace, but in cases where patients experience an increase in curvature and are in pain, surgery may be needed. For reasons unknown, girls are more prone to scoliosis in adolescence than boys.
CONGENITAL SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of Richardson TX
Unfortunately, congenital scoliosis, a spinal deformity, caused by a birth defect, produces a sideways curvature of the spine. For example, the spine may rotate or twist, pulling the ribs along with it to form a curve, often causing a hump.
IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS Treatment for residents of

Basically, lumbar scoliosis refers to a sideways curve in the lower (or lumbar) portion of the spine. For instance, this spinal condition occurs in infants, adolescents, and older adults.

Altogether, thoracic scoliosis refers to an abnormal sideways curve located in the middle (or thoracic) portion of the spine. Consequently, this is the most common location for scoliosis curves, and the first sign many patients notice is an asymmetry of the chest, rib cage, and shoulder blades.

Overall, neuromuscular Scoliosis is a spinal curvature that occurs in children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spina bifida.
