Rocks are either classified as sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic, depending on the manner in which they were formed. Most rocks encountered in everyday life are sedimentary, although some igneous rocks, such as granite, are also common.
Neuromuscular scoliosis encompasses scoliosis that is secondary to neurological or muscular diseases. This includes scoliosis associated with cerebral palsy, spinal cord trauma, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and spina bifida.
Doctors do not know what causes the most common type of scoliosis seen in adolescents. However, doctors do know that scoliosis tends to run in families. A disease, injury, infection, or birth defect also may be to blame. Symptoms vary depending on the type of spine curvature disorder and the severity of the condition.
