Scoliosis is not just a childhood condition—it’s a lifelong, whole-body disorder that evolves with age and affects far more than the spine. This comprehensive guide explores how scoliosis interacts with aging, highlighting the biological, neurological, and hormonal shifts that influence curve progression and overall quality of life. Contrary to popular belief, scoliosis does not simply stabilize after adolescence. It can worsen or become symptomatic during key life transitions—especially during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause—when hormones fluctuate, bone density declines, and postural control weakens.
