Is dancing a cause of scoliosis?
dancing is not a cause of scoliosis! scoliosis is 3 different types, idiopathic- no known cause for it (i have it), congenital- you were born with it or (can't rememeber name)- linked with certain disease. you've probably got idiopathic unless someone noticed it when you were born. scoliosis can run in family so check your siblings(if you have any obvs). hope this helps :)
What causes scoliosis not including idopathic scoliosis?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this is actually incorrect. IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS HAS NO KNOWN CAUSE you CANNOT get it from 'bending over too much' or 'carrying a heavy bag' you will get it regardless. other forms of scoliosis however have known causes yes it happens more in girls than boys, 2% of healthy boys will get scoliosis where as the percentge of girls is much much higher when i say healthy boys, i mean boys who have no health problems / disabilities scoliosis seems to go hand in hand with heart conditions other muscular diseases such as muscular distrophy / ostrophy etc. people often perk up at that when i say 'health problems' note, this does not include any mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. mostly just heart and muscle conditions. (although scoliosis can cause other mental conditions to arise, sadly)
Can scoliosis skip a generation?
Certain types of scoliosis have genetic factors, some have no genetic input, and some are only from genetics. For example, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which makes up about 80 percent of all cases of scoliosis, is generally from a combination of both environmental factors (i.e. posture) and genetic predisposition.
What race is mostly affected by scoliosis?
Scoliosis can affect individuals of any race or ethnicity; however, studies suggest that it may be more commonly diagnosed in females than in males, particularly during adolescence. While there isn't a specific racial group predominantly affected, some research indicates that idiopathic scoliosis may have varying prevalence rates in different populations. Overall, genetic, environmental, and other factors play significant roles in its manifestation across diverse groups.

What age children can contract scoliosis?
Scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, occurs in about 3 percent of the population and is much more prevelant in girls than boys. Scoliosis can be detected at any childhood age and is not contagious.
A lateral curvature of the spine is called what?
A lateral curvature of the spine is called scoliosis. It is a condition where the spine curves sideways, forming an "S" or "C" shape instead of being straight when viewed from the back. Scoliosis can occur in any part of the spine but is most commonly found in the thoracic (upper) or lumbar (lower) regions. Types of Scoliosis Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type, with no identifiable cause. It often develops during adolescence. Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by abnormal spinal development in the womb. Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Linked to conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy that affect muscles and nerves. Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurs in adults due to aging and wear-and-tear on the spine. Symptoms Uneven shoulders or hips. Prominent ribs on one side. Back pain or stiffness. Difficulty breathing in severe cases. Diagnosis and Treatment Scoliosis is diagnosed through physical exams, X-rays, or MRIs. Mild cases may require observation, while moderate cases may need bracing. Severe scoliosis might require surgery, such as spinal fusion, to correct the curvature and prevent progression. If you suspect scoliosis, consult a healthcare provider(561-836-7248) for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
What is scoliosis convex with apex to the left?
Scoliosis convex with the apex to the left refers to a spinal curvature where the spine bends to the left side, with the most pronounced curve or apex of the curvature located on that side. This condition can be classified as idiopathic, congenital, or neuromuscular, and may lead to physical symptoms such as uneven shoulders or hips. Treatment options vary based on the severity of the curvature and may include observation, bracing, or surgery in more severe cases. Regular monitoring is essential to assess any progression of the curvature.
Is osteoporosis relative to scoliosis?
Osteoporosis can result in bony degeneration which can then result in what is called degenerative Scoliosis in adults. There does not have to be any genetic link in that type of case.
