A scoliosis is any lateral (left or rght) curvature of thc cervical, tho- racic or lumbar spine. A scoliosis may be structural or functional. Structural scohiosis is a connecuive tissue or bony change in the ver- tebra] column. The majonity of these cases have no known cause, but 15 to 20%0 of structural cases develop from neuromuscular or myo- pathic disease, (such as polio or cerebral palsy) tnjury. or joint degen- eration. Functional or postural scoliosis is a muscular imbalance where the curves cas be straightened out or reversed. It may be diagnosed if the cw-vature changes or disappears when the client hends forward or to the side. This condition is caused by soft tissue dysfunction, as a result of trauma, mnjury or disc lesion. Most functional cases are attributable 10 occupationally-related asytometric posture which will translate into muscular changes - shortening of muscles on one side of the spine. creating a convexity on the opposite side. Functional scoliosis is a reversible benign condition, but because il is associated with muscular contractures and spasm, it cas be painful. It can be corrected with deep tissue massage on the shortened muscles and remedial esercises desîgned by the therapist. The clients postural habits or occupational postural stresses would be evaluated and corrected. Structural cases are classifted by the degree of curvature and rotation of the spine. 'Me condition is progressive with severe cases character- i.eed by advanced joint deterioration, decreased lung capacity, and decreased lufe expectancy. The focus nf treattments with a structural scoliosis will he on maintaining tissue health. Generally, a structural scoliosis needs long-termn maintenance (once a week for years) whereas a less severe scoliosis that is correctabte should be treated frequenly at first then reducing treaumient frequency as thie client takes over with self-care exercises.
