DOES SCOLIOSIS ALWAYS BECOME APPARENT IN CHILDHOOD?
Scoliosis is thought of as being a childhood disease. And were generally taught that it was such. And in fact, most commonly, Scoliosis presents in the boundary between the juvenile and the adolescent stage — 9, 10, 11, 12 years of age. There is, however, adult onset or degenerative scoliosis, which is thought to develop as a result of disk degeneration, and probably is an entirely separate entity from what we commonly think of as Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
