Will Scoliosis Stop Progressing when you Stop Growing

Scoliosis is the curvature of the spine from one side to the other. It usually attacks the children, and the condition may get worse as they grow. Some have the doubt that will scoliosis stop progressing when you stop growing.

Scoliosis causes the spine to be uneven, some with the shape of “C” and some have the shape of “S”. Since the children continue growing, the spine deformity may likely to progress. So earlier treatment is the most important. In moderate curvature stage, the active curvature correcting method is the most helpful. Because the children are at growing stage, this means they can also better recover from the disease.

When the spine is mature and patients enter adulthood, will the curvature stop growing? This is actually hard to say. In some people, the condition may stay stable; but in others, the disease may cause the curvature continue to increase. If people are at earlier stage, it will be better to treat the disease at early time. Besides surgery treatment, people at earlier stages can choose to correct the curvature through traditional Chinese medicine combination therapy.
