Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

• Each scoliosis case is different from the others,
  not only in terms of severity but also in the
  aetiology and treatment.
• However, almost all cases of Scoliosis can be
  broadly divided into two types, namely,
  Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

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.

Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

• Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis
  Types Causes
• Types of Structural Scoliosis Causes
  Structural Scoliosis can be further divided into
  four categories based on the cause that triggered
  the curvature
• 1.Idiopathic Scoliosis The name itself refers to
  the condition whose causes are not certainly
  known. Spine specialists in UK speculate the
  abnormalities in nerve, bone, and muscular
  development for this type of Scoliosis.
• 2. Degenerative Scoliosis Degeneration of
  joints that occurs due to age-related factors can
  result in Degenerative Scoliosis.
• 3. Neuromuscular Scoliosis Neuromuscular
  conditions like Cerebral Palsy may cause
  Neuromuscular Scoliosis.
• 4. Congenital Scoliosis In rare cases, Scoliosis
  may also happen to the baby during the pregnancy.

Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

• Types of Functional Scoliosis Causes
• Functional Scoliosis can be categorized into four
  types based on the specific external factor
  causing the spinal curve
• Posture A chronic faulty posture combined with a
  lack of right exercise can result in Postural
  Scoliosis
• Difference in Limb length The spine may have to
  compensate for the difference in the length of
  the limbs resulting in a curved spine. This
  condition is termed Compensatory Scoliosis.
• 3. Inflammation in the body The spine may also
  respond to the inflammation in the body and
  compensate for it with a minor curve in the back
  leading to Inflammatory Scoliosis.
• 4. Movement of Sciatic nerve The abnormal
  movement of the sciatic nerve in the lower back
  may also trigger the curve of the spine leading
  to Sciatic Scoliosis.

Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

• Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis
  Treatment in the UK
• Scoliosis is treated based on the underlying
  condition that is causing the spinal curve and
  the severity of the curvature.
• Exercises, braces and surgery are the methods
  used by a spine specialist to correct Structural
  Scoliosis.
• Since Functional Scoliosis is caused by a variety
  of external factors, it is treated differently
  from structural scoliosis.
• A spine specialist identifies the cause of
  Functional Scoliosis and then prescribes the
  right treatment course for the individual.

Structural Scoliosis Vs Functional Scoliosis

• Treatment for this type of Scoliosis usually
  involves a Scoliosis-Specific Exercise Program
  that is customized to sort out the muscular
  imbalances and correct the posture.

  Scoliosis in UK, you can contact the Children
  Adult Spinal Surgeon in UK Mr Jwalant S Mehta
