When a patient receives a diagnosis of scoliosis, it is a general diagnosis since there are multiple types of scoliosis.

Scoliosis is an unnatural sideways curvature of the spine. It is a frontview curvature of the spine and normally has a rotational component, and the cobb angle measurement needs to be 10 degrees or greater to qualify as scoliosis.

A cobb angle measurement is taken during an xray by drawing lines on the xray either using software or pencils and protractors to determine the severity of the case.
Mild scoliosis: Cobb angle measurement of between 10 and 25 degrees
Moderate scoliosis: Cobb angle measurement of between 25 and 40 degrees
Severe scoliosis: Cobb angle measurement of 40+ degrees
Verysevere scoliosis: Cobb angle measurement of 80+ degrees

Types of scoliosis are based on several different factors:
Causation what is the cause of the scoliosis
Where is the curve location and pattern
The age of the patient when diagnosed
The severity
These factors are associated with the different treatment needs of the patient.

Idiopathic scoliosis. Is when the cause is unknown. It accounts for approximately 80 percent of all types of scoliosis.

The most common type of scoliosis is idiopathic adolescent scoliosis between 1018 years of age. You can have idiopathic adolescent scoliosis at any type of severity.

There are cases of scoliosis with known causes, which make up the remaining 20 percent of diagnosed cases.
Neuromuscular scoliosis is when scoliosis develops as a result of a secondary complication to a larger neuromuscular condition. They are normally a result of changes in connective tissue becoming too lax or too stiff. There can also be complications with the central nervous system or the spinal cord itself.
Congenital scoliosis develops in utero when there is malformation to a spinal vertebra or spinal bone itself. The spinal bone develops into a Hemivertebra instead of a full vertebra which will cause a curve at that size.

Degenerative scoliosis also known as De Novo scoliosis. This scoliosis typically develops in adults. We believe it happens due to an unresolved trauma early on in life, small enough that did not create a severe scoliosis but left some small spinal misalignment uncorrected for years until it evolved into agerelated spinal degeneration.

Severe traumatic scoliosis is when severe trauma causes severe injury, such as an accident or fall, that causes a curve to start to develop as scoliosis from that moment on. These tend to be very painful and progress from that period of time.

Where the curve is located is also a way of typing your scoliosis. You can have multiple curves and curves that transition more than one area. Scoliosis can be very complex; saying someone has scoliosis is not enough. We must know the type, the area, and the severity of the causation associated with it to really understand the best treatment option for that patient.

In many cases, scoliosis patients are grouped into an "" I have scoliosis "" category as opposed to trying to figure out the type of scoliosis they have and what would be the best treatment option.

At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we have treatment plans that are individually crafted for all types of scoliosis to address the causation and also to address the size because no matter what the cause of the scoliosis is, in most cases, it will continue to progress to where the scoliosis itself becomes its own problem and as the curvature continues to progress you need to address these structural components while you're trying to address the rest of the patient's problems. If we don't address the structural component, the curve continues to progress.
