Below are some of the possible causes for scoliosis:
- Neuromuscular conditions: These affect the nerves and muscles and include cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis, and muscular dystrophy.
- Congenital scoliosis (present at birth): This is rare and occurs because the bones in the spine developed abnormally when the fetus was growing inside the mother.
- Specific genes: At least one gene is thought to be involved in scoliosis.
- Leg length: If one leg is longer than the other, the individual may develop scoliosis.
- Syndromic scoliosis: Scoliosis can develop as part of another disease, including neurofibromatosis
and Marfan's syndrome. - Osteoporosis: This can cause secondary scoliosis due to bone degeneration.
- Other causes: Bad posture, carrying backpacks or satchels, connective tissue disorders, and some injuries.
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. The normal shape of a person’s spine includes a curve at the top of the shoulder and a curve at the lower back. If your spine is curved from side to side or in an “S” or “C” shape, you might have scoliosis. About 80 percent of scoliosis cases have no identifiable cause. The condition is often diagnosed during the first seven years of a child’s life. Common causes, when they can be pinpointed, are:
- birth defects
- neurological abnormalities
- genetic conditions
