Discussion of Possible
Causes of Idiopathic Scoliosis
One of the greatest areas
of confusion in regards to
scoliosis
has to do with its
cause.
Many mothers are fraught with a sense of guilt, feeling
that scoliosis was "in their genes," and somehow "passed
down" to their son or daughter. Although a recent article
in the scientific journal of
Spine
stated that no specific gene has even been linked to
scoliosis, much of the current resources & energy of
the scientific community remain committed to the search.
The idea
of a scoliosis gene is preposterous.
Perhaps the researchers would save time and money if they
were to consider a study published in 1992 suggesting that
the cause of scoliosis
can be traced to an
injury to the part of the brain responsible for coordinating
motor & sensory input.
This condition, referred to as
Kinetic Imbalance due to
Suboccipital Strain,
or "KISS",
is well-documented in scientific literature, and is generally
found in newborns
due to birth trauma
such as Caesarean section, multiple births, prolonged labor,
or the use of extraction devices.
This clearly makes more sense
than a scoliosis gene.
In the study, published in the
Journal of Manual Medicine
and entitled, "Kinetic Imbalance due to Suboccipital Strain
in Newborns," over 600 children with evidence of KISS was
evaluated. The authors
noted that this condition, if left unchecked, could lead
to postural problems such as scoliosis,
due to the interference on the nerves that are responsible
for coordinating the motor input from the body with the
sensory input from the eyes.
