Scoliosis <\/a>describes abnormal curvature in the spine, where it loses its shape. Patients with scoliosis find that their spine takes on an \u201cS,\u201d or \u201cC,\u201d form. According to research published by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), around 20-percent of scoliosis cases occur due to neurological disorders, like those produced by advanced spinal stenosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, there is no cure for this condition, and patients must rely on physiotherapists to slow the progression of the disease, and help them maintain their mobility as the neurological damage to the lower limbs continues to advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doctors prescribe painkillers and anti-inflammatories to manage the symptoms, but there is no surgical procedure that can reverse the disorder. Patients must learn to come to terms with the effects of the disease on their quality of life.
