Types of Scoliosis
There are various scoliosis types, but if these types are categorized in general terms, they are called structural scoliosis and nonstructural scoliosis.
Structural scoliosis
Structural scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis involving spinal rotation and curvature of the spine. The spinal structure is affected by this type of scoliosis, and it is considered permanent unless spinal treatment is received.
Non-structural scoliosis
It is temporary scoliosis and involves a side-to-side curvature of the spine. As there is no spinal rotation in this type, therefore, spine structure is normal.
