Scoliosis – The Crooked Spine and You

7月 30, 2010 · Posted in 未分類 

Scoliosis or Kyphoscoliosis is an abnormal alignment of the spine which can be seen in most age groups. The incidence of idiopathic scoliosis of more than 10 degrees are estimated to occure in 2-3% of children younger than 16 years old, and fewer than 10% of children with curves greater than 10 degree will require treatment. For scoliosis in adolescents, it is more common in girls, and tends to progress during the child’s growth spurts. Once growth stops, one can expect a curve less than 40% to also stop advancing.
