When it comes to health or body conditions, no one likes to have any particular condition. One of the conditions that no one likes to have is known as Scoliosis and there can be many causes of this condition. This article gives you the insight and a more in depth look into the particular causes and images of Scoliosis.
Key Takeaways:
- Although there are many types and causes of scoliosis (when your spine develops abnormal curves), about 80% are idiopathic. Idiopathic means the cause of scoliosis is not known.
- Congenital: This means that you’re born with scoliosis.
- Degenerative: Degenerative scoliosis can develop in adults. It’s caused by “wear and tear” on the spine, causing it to develop curves.
