It impacts upon the brain and central nervous system and affects the body's hormonal and digestive systems. It can deplete the body's nutritional resources and damage its major organs including the heart and lungs. * Some factors that can cause scoliosis include: cerebral palsy, birth defects, muscular dystrophy and Marfan syndrome. However, 80% of scoliosis is idiopathic (cause unknown). * According to the International Scoliosis Society, one in nine females and a smaller percentage of males have some sign of scoliosis. * Approximately 4% of the general population is affected. While the average patient is between 10-15 years of age, many adults do suffer also. * Conditions arising as a result of scoliosis include rib deformity, shortness of breath, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, acute or dull back pain, leg, hip, and knee, acute headaches, mood swings, and menstrual disturbances. * Scoliosis is a progressive condition that can continue to progress even after skeletal maturity. Millions of scoliosis sufferers are routinely misinformed about the accelerating nature of their spinal curvature progression. Should Scoliosis not be monitored in a patient and the curve progresses it could potentially squash other major organs of the body, the result of this could be death, however, it is not common in the west for people to die of Scoliosis anymore as the health care is second to non.
