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.
