Introduction

Scoliosis is a disease when a person has extreme back pains. It is also associated with muscle tensions. Although, it is a complex three-dimensional deformity, on an x-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. It is typically classified as either congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (cause unknown, sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult according to when onset occurred) or neuromuscular (having developed as a secondary symptom of another condition, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy or physical trauma). This condition affects approximately 7 million people in the United States.

In the case of the most common form of scoliosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, there is no clear causal agent and it is generally believed to be multifactorial. Various causes have been implicated, but none have consensus among scientists as the cause of scoliosis. The role of genetic factors in the development of this condition is widely accepted.

One definite cause of scoliosis, is the prescence of ether in the bloodstream of teh father at the moment of conception. my father was an anaethistist in three hospitals and always smelt of ether. As a consequence I was born with scoliosis shown on the X ray as a hemi vertebrate. (Richard Howells son of Dr Wilfred Howells OBE) Scoliosis is more often diagnosed in females. In some cases, scoliosis exists at birth due to a congenital vertebral anomaly. Occasionally, development of scoliosis during adolescence is due to an underlying anomaly such as a tethered spinal cord, but most often the cause is unknown or idiopathic, having been inherited through multiple factors, including genetics. Scoliosis often presents itself, or worsens, during the adolescence growth spurt.
