What are the signs of scoliosis?
In many cases, scoliotic curves will not cause pain. In a significant percentage of patients any pain associated with their scoliosis will get worse as they age. Scoliosis treatment is always designed to alleviate pain first (if any pain is present), then stop curve progression, reduce curve size and then stabilize the curve corrections. The causes of scoliosis or the most mart remain a mystery because in most people, there is no known cause for scoliosis. This is known as idiopathic scoliosis.
