What type of scoliosis do we have ? my mom has scoliosis but doctors at our country don't know what type of scoliosis she has, she's 50 years old.

Scoliosis: Scoliosis diagnosed later in life tends to be degenerative in nature, meaning essentially that it is caused by arthritis and breakdown of the intervertebral disk.

Most cases of scoliosis in adults fall into these two categories.
