<\/div>[vc_column_text]The plain fact is that scoliosis from whatever cause and arising at any age will tend to progress over time. It is also true that providing appropriate care to scoliosis patients can reduce symptoms, improve posture, slow progression, and improve curvatures.<\/p>\n

When the spine of a child with scoliosis is maturing it has a high potential for improvement, but it also has a high risk of progression.\u00a0 Leaving scoliosis untreated in a child can have dire consequences because progression can rapidly progress to the point of requiring surgery.\u00a0 In adults the mechanisms are different because the spine is already fully formed.\u00a0 What happens is that the spine begins to degenerate and then, progressively, the curves worsen, which then accelerates the degeneration.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2660″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
