Idiopathic scoliosis. mechanisms of its development

Based on our own clinical material (more than 6900 patients with lateral curvature of the spine and spinal pain) we have revealed the regular nature of development of idiopathic scoliosis. The underlying pathological cause consists in formation of zones of instability in all regions of the spine, which arise as a result of unilateral hypertonus of spinal muscles associated with asymmetric functioning of cerebral hemispheres.
