Early Stage Scoliosis vs Early On-set Scoliosis
Early stage scoliosis is not the same as early on-set scoliosis.  The term “early on-set scoliosis” is primarily used to describe scoliosis that begins its on-set in children under the age of 5 years old and would be considered infantile or juvenile scoliosis. Early stage scoliosis, often referred to as “mild” scoliosis, is considered to be the beginning stages of adolescent idiopathic (meaning unknown cause) scoliosis (AIS); which makes up over 80% of all cases of scoliosis.
Spinal curvatures that measure 0-25 degrees fall into the “early stage scoliosis” category.  Although, many health care professionals don’t consider any spinal curvatures under 10 degrees to be considered scoliosis, the recent trend in many scoliosis research circles is to begin focusing on the “high risk patterns” of the spinal curvature, rather than solely on the size of the curve.  The early stage scoliosis intervention program is specifically designed to treat patients with early stage scoliosis, not patients with early on-set scoliosis.  The early stage scoliosis intervention program can be utilized by any patient with a spinal curvature 25 degrees or less, from ages 6 to 70+ years old.

  • Early on-set scoliosis is determined by the age of the patient (Scoliosis onset by age 5)
  • Early stage scoliosis is determined by the size of the curvature (curves 0-25 degrees), not the age of the patient.

Much of the risk of progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, as well as its treatment outcome, are closely linked to the flexibility and rotation of the curvature.  Both of these factors, curve flexibility and rotation, are generally still to the patient’s advantage in early stage scoliosis; which provides the most ideal time to begin an early stage scoliosis intervention program.

  • Increased risk of curve progression and treatment outcomes in AIS are linked to flexibility and rotation of the spinal curvature
  • Both curve flexibility and rotation are generally still favorable for treatment in early stage scoliosis, which means the treatment outcomes and decreased risk of progression are most possible with intervention during this most critical time in the scoliotic patient’s development.
