What can cause scoliosis?

Scoliosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic and environmental factors.

In some cases, scoliosis may be present at birth or develop during childhood or adolescence. This is known as idiopathic scoliosis, and it accounts for the majority of scoliosis cases.

Other potential causes of scoliosis include neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, and degenerative conditions, such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Injury, infection, and tumours can also contribute to the development of scoliosis.

It is important to seek medical attention if you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of scoliosis, as early detection and treatment can help prevent further progression of the condition.
