Does scoliosis stop progressing? 🦴
Short answer: not always.
Scoliosis is a progressive condition, which means curves can worsen over time, especially during growth.
🔹 In children and teens, progression is often linked to growth spurts, making adolescence the highest-risk period.
🔹 In adults, curves may slow after growth stops, but scoliosis can still progress, particularly when spinal degeneration begins.
This is why scoliosis isn’t something to “wait and see.”
Early assessment helps identify progression risk, so care can start before curves become harder to manage.
At ScoliCare, we assess more than just the curve: we look at age, growth stage, curve type and severity to guide personalised, non-surgical care.
If you’ve noticed postural changes, in your child or yourself, book a scoliosis assessment and get it checked early.
