The first thing to understand is that scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine with 10 degrees or more with rotation. If there is no rotation, it might not be scoliosis.

Scoliosis is divided into these categories:
Mild
Moderate
Severe
Very-Severe

Scoliosis can happen to children and adults. Dr. Tony Nalda focuses on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) in this video. AIS is called this way because of its unknown cause, and there are multiple theories on how it happens, but none is 100% certain for all patients.

The most common thing to notice is posture, balance, and coordination changes as the spine shifts and the curve happens. It is expected to see uneven shoulders, arms, hips, and legs in AIS patients. But the most classic signs of AIS are rib protrusion, tilting appearance, asymmetrical shoulder blades, and rarely, pain.

Pain is the least common symptom in adolescents and children with scoliosis. That is why it is difficult to do an early diagnosis in some cases. Contrary to adults, pain is more frequent, stronger because of the pressure of gravity on the spine over time compresses the nerves that come out of the spine.

Patients usually seek out scoliosis surgery because of fear that their scoliosis curve might pressure or puncture their lungs and heart. But this type of manifestation starts to happen after 80 degrees of curvature and more likely after 100 degrees. When this happens, it is called a functional impairment, and the patient won't even notice. Only if the patient has difficulty breathing or any other symptoms might they notice something is wrong.

The only way to confirm if this is happening is to have a cardiovascular function profile done. Some people might develop it earlier or later in their process, but it is often associated with each patient's curve progress.

If you suspect you have scoliosis, Dr. Nalda recommends the first thing to do is get tested, get an X-Ray, and have your scoliosis angle measured. Once the scoliosis diagnosis is confirmed, be proactive regarding your scoliosis. Look for a professional that specializes in your type of scoliosis to seek treatment and keep your curve as small as possible.
