  4. Scoliosis Symptoms & Treatment Options Major Types of Scoliosis Many people view scoliosis as a condition that predominantly affects adolescents and teens. However, this is not entirely true. Scoliosis can also affect adults. Depending on your age, the cause and severity, your condition and prognosis can vary greatly. Scoliosis Symptoms & Treatment Options Scoliosis is a form of spinal deformity that develops when the spine arcs in an abnormal, side- to-side curvature. A healthy spine should grow in a specific direction with a gentle forward and backward curvature. This design supports the weight of the body and our movements.

  5. Spinal Deformities Symptoms & Treatment Options Less Common Types of Spinal Deformity Scheuermann’s Disease: This condition appears in children and adolescents. Like kyphosis, this disease causes an exaggerated hump in the thoracic spine. Rather than resulting from degeneration, however, disruptions in the growth of spinal vertebrae cause this disease. This condition can lead to considerable pain and disability. Spinal Deformities Symptoms & Treatment Options When viewed from the front, a healthy spine will appear straight up and down. When viewed from the side, it will adopt a gradual S-curve. Your spine should bend backward from where the head sits on the neck. Continuing its arc through the center of the chest, a healthy spine will curve slightly forward on the lumbar spine.
