    The short answer is, we don’t know until we assess you! There are many types of scoliosis. The most common scoliosis classification is ‘Idiopathic Scoliosis’. A patient will be diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis when a reason for the scoliosis cannot be found. For example, if a 13 year old is diagnosed with scoliosis of unknown cause then the diagnosis becomes Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. If, for example, a neurological reason for the scoliosis is found, then the diagnosis and classification of the scoliosis will change. The best way to find out for yourself is to see us for an individualised assessment.

    I have been diagnosed with scoliosis and told to ‘wait and see’. What should I do? If you are concerned about the diagnosis given to you, or the recommendation of treatment you should seek a second opinion from a scoliosis clinician. Contact us at ScoliCare on 1300 883 884
