Adult scoliosis refers to a lateral curvature of the spine that can develop at any stage of life. It affects approximately 6 to 9 million individuals in the United States, accounting for 2–3% of the population. A two-decade-long study found that around 40% of adults with scoliosis experienced varying degrees of bone abnormalities over time.
Although scoliosis is most often identified during adolescence, it can also develop in adulthood. Adult scoliosis may arise from degenerative changes in the spine or as a leftover curve from adolescent scoliosis. Common symptoms include persistent back pain, feelings of fatigue, and, in some cases, difficulty with breathing.
There is no cure for adult scoliosis, but there are treatments that can help ease symptoms and prevent the condition from getting worse.
