Scoliosis can be caused by certain disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and muscular dystrophy, to name a few. However, 80 percent of patients who have scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, don't have an identifiable cause. Approximately 2 percent of women and 0.5 percent of men who don't have any predisposing disorders or disease, have scoliosis. If someone in your family has scoliosis, you have a higher chance of having it yourself.
Scoliosis treatments are changing and have changed a lot over the past couple of generations.
