<\/div>[vc_column_text]There is an increasing incidence of scoliosis with age.\u00a0 Some scoliosis in adults is the result of progression from scoliosis that began in childhood, but there are a significant number of adults who develop scoliosis when they never had it in childhood.\u00a0 This is known as \u201cAdult Degenerative (de novo) Scoliosis\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the spine ages and gravity continues to do its work, it is common for degeneration (wear and tear) to occur.\u00a0 Often disks will become thinner and the spinal bones themselves will change shape and the joints become arthritic. The net result of these changes is that what might begin as a small curve can progress over time and cause significant alterations in normal posture, pain, and even some degree of disability.\u00a0 These changes occur in adults who never had scoliosis before adulthood.\u00a0 This is what is meant by \u201cAdult Degenerative Scoliosis\u201d.<\/p>\n
