Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

In this blog today we provide all the essential information about these two types of Scoliosis to help you gain more awareness about Scoliosis. Read on:

• Functional Scoliosis: This type of Scoliosis is where the spine is curved due to external factors – postural problems, muscle spasms, irregular limb length and more.

• Any external factor within the body that impacts the symmetry of the body will affect the spine.

• As a result, the spine tends to curve to compensate for this asymmetry caused by these irregularities.

• Structural Scoliosis: The most common type of Scoliosis where the spine physically tends to curve sideways due to inherent problems like neuromuscular conditions or joint deterioration.

• The majority of Scoliosis cases fall under this type of Scoliosis.
