As a scoliosis chiropractor known worldwide for his expertise, Dr. Tony Nalda shares insights and hope for patients and parents who have received a scoliosis diagnosis. Traditional scoliosis treatments prescribe years of "watching and waiting" instead of decisive action. Patients can be told to wear cumbersome, embarrassing braces for 20 or more hours a day. Eventually, expensive, invasive surgery often becomes the only option for treatment. It doesn’t have to be this way! The chiropractic-centered approach to treating scoliosis is proactive, effective and hopeful. In this podcast, Dr. Tony Nalda describes the realities of scoliosis and busts some of the more prevalent myths about treating the condition. But my primary goal is to give patients and parents hope. Surgery can often times be avoided. Treatment can be proactive and effective. Spinal curvatures can be reduced. Patients can live rich, full, and active lives.

Episode: What Is Idiopathic Scoliosis?
âś… Key Takeaways


Idiopathic scoliosis means “unknown cause” and makes up about 80% of all scoliosis cases.


It’s defined as a three-dimensional spinal curve—with both sideways bending and rotation—measuring ≥ 10° Cobb angle.


Four subtypes based on age:



Infantile, Juvenile, Adolescent (most common, ages 10–18), Adult Idiopathic







🧬 Idiopathic vs Non-Idiopathic Scoliosis


Idiopathic: No identifiable structural cause.


Other 20% include:



Neuromuscular (e.g. cerebral palsy)


Congenital (spinal malformations at birth)


Degenerative (due to wear and tear)


Traumatic (caused by injury)




🚨 TIP: A proper workup by a scoliosis specialist is essential—sometimes non-idiopathic causes are missed.




👦 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis


Highly progressive during growth spurts, sometimes swinging from mild to severe quickly.


Early curves around 10–25° can escalate to 50°+ if overlooked.


Diagnosis often begins with posture checks—shoulder/hip height, rib prominence, etc.





đź‘© Adult Idiopathic vs Degenerative Scoliosis





Type
Onset
Key Feature
Symptoms




Adult Idiopathic
Continuation from adolescence
Pain, posture
Back pain, stiffness


Degenerative
Middle age onward
Asymmetric wear & tear
Compression-related pain










Many adults discover scoliosis via pain and X-rays, even without adolescent diagnosis.





🧱 Why "Idiopathic" Doesn’t Mean Untreatable
Dr. Nalda offers a powerful analogy:


“Like rebuilding a building after an earthquake—even if we don't control the quake, we can still fix the structure.”

Though the cause may remain unclear, structural rehabilitation—via chiropractic care, bracing, exercises, and therapy—can realign the spine, reduce curve size, and manage progression.




🌱 Early Intervention Is Key


The earlier the treatment, the better the results.


Smaller curves respond more effectively to non-surgical methods.


Even severe or painful idiopathic cases can often be managed successfully with a tailored, multimodal care plan.





📌 Final Thoughts


Idiopathic scoliosis is common—but it's manageable, not mysterious.


Don't wait for symptoms—early assessment and intervention offer the best outcomes.


Treatment is available, structured, and backed by proven spinal care strategies.
