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.

Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls TX

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.

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