Idiopathic scoliosis is further defined by the age at which it is first identified.\u00a0 It can affect infants (diagnosed at age 0-3), juveniles (diagnosed at age 3-10), adolescents (diagnosed at age 10-14), or adults (diagnosed from age 14 onward).\u00a0 Aside from the prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis, it also gets a lot of attention because it impacts children and can rapidly progress as the child matures.\u00a0 Idiopathic scoliosis can be mild and impacting single regions of the spine or can be rapidly progressive and affecting multiple regions.<\/p>\n
