Is Scoliosis Environmental in Nature?

When studying what causes scoliosis, hereditary factors can provide a lot of insight — but they also raise as many questions as they answer.

For example, if scoliosis is hereditary, why does it also crop up in children with no family history of the condition? Another oddity researchers have noted is that the condition seems to have variable effects within each generation. A mother with a mild curve might have a daughter with a severe one, or the scoliosis might skip a generation entirely.

Scientists have explained these anomalies by acknowledging that environmental factors probably contribute to differences in scoliosis development, progression and age at detection. Consider that at least 4 percent of scoliosis curves progress to the threshold for surgery, yet only 1 percent of patients have a high genetic risk of severe curvature. If genes are a factor in only 1 percent of cases, environmental factors must account for the severity in the other 3 percent.

But identifying what those factors are is tricky. Studies have ruled out the theory that the curves are caused by specific behaviors such as slouching or carrying a heavy backpack. They’ve also found no link between scoliosis and living in an industrialized area.

Understanding what causes scoliosis is like hitting a moving target. It’s not a fixed deformity but a dynamic process that appears to spring from a combination of different factors. The more we study it, however, the better equipped we become to effectively treat the condition.
