Causes and Risk Factors
Though many scoliosis cases have no identifiable cause, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of developing spinal curvature:
- Family history of scoliosis
- Growth spurts during adolescence

- Past injuries or surgeries
- Conditions like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy
In a diverse, active borough like Brooklyn, even mild curvature can affect posture, balance, and function—especially for students, workers, and older adults.
