What are the specific causes of scoliosis?

Scoliosis is, in essence, a symptomatic description. It can be visualized through x-rays, which reveal that the spine has a scoliosis or a kyphosis. There are various causes of scoliosis, for example, we can categorize scoliosis into idiopathic scoliosis, congenital scoliosis, neurofibromatosis scoliosis, and neuromuscular scoliosis. Idiopathic scoliosis is a type of scoliosis that develops in adolescence. These children may have a normal spine before puberty, but begin to develop scoliosis after puberty. The cause of this type of scoliosis is not well understood, and it is considered that there may be a genetic link. The other most common type of scoliosis is congenital scoliosis. Congenital scoliosis is a condition in which a child is born with abnormalities in the development of the vertebrae, such as hemivertebrae, formation of bone bridges, and segmental insufficiency. Since it is present at birth, it is called congenital scoliosis. And in fact, while it is somewhat hereditary, it is usually related to environmental factors in the mother’s pregnancy. There is also neurofibromatosis scoliosis, which is scoliosis caused by neurofibromatosis, or scoliosis caused by neuromuscular problems such as polio. Therefore, the causes of scoliosis are various, and we need to analyze specific cases.
