Scoliosis typically stops progressing around the age of 18 for females and 21 for males. This is because the spine usually stops growing at those ages.
However, it's important to note that:
- Scoliosis can progress in adults, but it's less common. This is usually due to conditions like degenerative disc disease or osteoporosis.
- The age at which scoliosis stops progressing can vary. Some people may see their scoliosis stop progressing earlier or later than the average ages mentioned above.
- It's essential to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. They can assess the severity of the scoliosis and recommend the best course of action.
