Are there different kinds of scoliosis?

Yes. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which is usually diagnosed after the age of 10, is by far the most common type. Other types include infantile idiopathic scoliosis, which occurs in children younger than 3; juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, which occurs in children between the ages of 3 and 10; and neuromuscular scoliosis, which can occur at any age but is a result of another muscular condition, such as cerebral palsy.
