From the Mayo Clinic (see related link): Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty.
While scoliosis can be caused by conditions and birth defects such as Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy and Spina Bifida (which I was born with), the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.
Some with mild cases of Scoliosis are only monitored for progression while others may require bracing. In severe cases surgery may be required.
There are various forms of Scoliosis, which are classified based on their causes. The main categories are: Congenital Scoliosis - Birth defects are the cause of scoliosis Neuromuscular Scoliosis - A neuromuscular condition, such as muscle dystrophy, is the cause Idiopathic Scoliosis - The cause of scoliosis is unknown
