A member asked:
Curvature of the spine in my son. . . what could it be from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Idiopathic: Most forms of scoliosis do not necessarily have a source or cause unless your son has a developmental or congenital neuromuscular abnormality. Curves may progress during the growing years but usually stop progressing when the spine matures. The curve may then worsen as the spine begins to degenerate with age.
