Scoliosis cannot typically be cured, but treatment aims to prevent progression, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with scoliosis can lead active and fulfilling lives.
While lifestyle changes and exercises cannot reverse the curvature of the spine, they may help manage symptoms and improve spinal health. Exercises focused on strengthening the back and core muscles, maintaining flexibility, and promoting good posture can be beneficial.
In most cases, scoliosis does not directly impact pregnancy or childbirth. However, women with scoliosis may experience increased back pain during pregnancy due to changes in posture and weight distribution. It's essential for women with scoliosis to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider before and during pregnancy.
Scoliosis most commonly develops during adolescence, between the ages of 10 and 15, but it can also occur in infants (infantile scoliosis) or adults (adult scoliosis).
There is evidence to suggest that scoliosis can run in families, indicating a genetic component. However, not all cases of scoliosis are hereditary, and environmental factors may also play a role.
