Information about scoliosis continues to change. For instance, years ago, the accepted teaching was that once you reach adulthood, the curves become static and do not progress. For most patients, scoliosis does not progress.

However, there’s a subgroup of individuals where the curve continues to progress in adulthood.

There’s been an evolution in what is known about scoliosis. And one of the problems is that many general practitioners, internists, and pediatricians, don’t have access to the latest information, making care much more difficult and challenging.
