When patients think of scoliosis, they often think of it as an adolescent condition since it is most often diagnosed in children and adolescents. However, this condition does affect adults, most commonly as idiopathic scoliosis or degenerative scoliosis.
Although scoliosis is commonly associated with adolescence, every decade of life, there is a greater population with scoliosis.
Adolescent cases are around the 5 percent range, while in later stages of life, around 40 years of age, the estimate is 40 percent of the population has scoliosis. Studies indicate that in patients aged 60-70, even as much as 50 percent of patients have some form of scoliosis.
Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common type of scoliosis, and by definition, it means there is no single known cause of the patient's scoliosis. It is the most common diagnosis not only in adolescents but also in adults with scoliosis.
Degenerative scoliosis is also common in the adult form and is commonly a result of either adolescent scoliosis that was uncorrected, and as a result, the spine is deteriorating, or something small happened as a young adult that caused a small shift in the spine, and this leads to a later age-related degeneration of the spine in the affected areas. It is most common in patients over 40 and in female patients around menopause.
Scoliosis symptoms vary dramatically between adolescents and adult patients. For adolescents, it is not considered to be painful since growth is what causes their curve to progress, which counteracts the compressive forces of gravity. The condition becomes painful in the adult form once the patient stops growing, gravity starts to compress down the spine over time, and this causes compression to the muscles, nerves, and tissue surrounding the area, which can now cause pain. The pain is not related to the size of the curve but to how much it progresses in the adult form.
Scoliosis is progressive, and its very nature is to worsen over time if left untreated or if not treated proactively. Traditional treatment tends to treat the symptoms of scoliosis but not scoliosis itself. In adults, the progression is slow, so treatment can focus on trying to counteract the progression. The best way to stop progression in adults is to reduce the curve because as curves become bigger and patients age, the curves tend to progress faster.
For patients over the age of 50, there are different options such as:
Condition-specific chiropractic care designed specifically for scoliosis patients, patients can get specific chiropractic adjustments and techniques to help reduce the size of their curve.
There are scoliosis-specific exercises, scoliosis-specific therapy and rehabilitation, scoliosis-specific support and stabilization. Or a combination of these techniques.
Corrective bracing can be used short term to help with pain relief and also provide the spine with support and stabilization needed to help hold the reductions that were achieved.
Scoliosis patients tend to look for doctors that have spinal injuries, where they receive injury type of care, which is typically considered to be low dose over a long time. Scoliosis, the majority of the time, is not progressing due to an injury, so trying to treat it like an injury normally leads to very little results. For scoliosis patients, we invert the model and do high-dose high-intensity treatments.
At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we try to reduce the curve while preserving spinal function and preventing further spinal deterioration.

I am now 75 I was diagnosed with scoliosis around the age of 63 or 65. I have had back problems and pain much longer maybe around the age of 35 to 40 back then I was told arthritis and degenerate disc I believe had scoliosis then and actually before that. I remember my mom would always beware of my poor posture I had to walk around the house with books balanced on my head , I remember she always was telling me stand up straight I thought I was standing straight. I believe I had it then and she didn't know. She just thought I had poor posture. My mom took me to the doctor but maybe back then he wasn't aware. Thank you Dr Tony for explaining this deformity

I really appreciate what you are saying. As I said in the introductory page I submitted, the travel time is a problem since I cannot sit for any length of time, therefore my mode of travel would have to be by train in order to enroll in your program.But it is a possible consideration if I find the present treatments are not doing what I know can be done. Thank you for this video which I have watched several times. LK from Canada. ❤❤😊😊
Thank you.
Thank you for your information! Do you have a center out in LA or Orange County, CA that specializes in adult patients? Also, in regards to treatment for adults, does your approach use a combination of chiropractic and physical therapy methodologies to reduce spine curvature? I have a C-curve that has progressed from 30 degrees to 50 degrees since adolescence -- I am in my early 60s now. Thank you! M

Is there a specific scoliosis brace that I can purchase that's not steel or hard that I could wear for long periods of time that would not be too uncomfortable? Or what brace is the most effective for my scoliosis? I am 68 years old and just found out in the last 5 years that I have scoliosis and it has progressed very much in two years. My pain is really bad in my side and lower back but I also have degenerative disease in my lower back. I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you
