ABOUT SCOLIOSIS & SPINE CURVATURES Scoliosis affects approximately 12 million people worldwide. Millions of scoliosis sufferers are routinely misinformed about the accelerating nature of their spinal curvature progression.  While doctors have yet to find a cure, some experts have uncovered solutions available for relief and the stop the progression.  These solutions are practiced at The Scoliosis Center of Los Angeles.  Left untreated, this scoliosis (unhealthy spinal curve) can worsen and cause deformity, respiratory problems, cardiac problems, digestive problems, and debilitating pain.    Some scoliosis patients have breathing and cardiac problems along with neuropathy issues.  Since many early degenerative changes are shown in younger patients, adults often have severely advanced degenerative changes in the spine if Scoliosis is present for long periods.  Scoliosis is a progressive condition that can continue to progress even after skeletal maturity.
