What causes scoliosis?

Scoliosis can develop for different reasons, and in many cases the exact cause is unknown. Understanding the cause helps guide the most appropriate treatment and long-term management.

Common Causes

Idiopathic scoliosis

The most common type, usually developing during childhood or adolescence with no known cause.

Congenital scoliosis

Present from birth due to the way the spine develops before birth.

Neuromuscular conditions

Associated with conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy that affect muscle control and spinal alignment.

Degenerative scoliosis

Develops later in adulthood as the spine naturally changes with age.
