Adult degenerative scoliosis is a condition where a right-left or lateral curve develops in a previously straight spine secondary to advanced degenerative disc disease. This curvature occurs as a result of deterioration (or degeneration) of the disc space and joints in the back of the spine.dult degenerative scoliosis is a condition where a right-left or lateral curve develops in a previously straight spine secondary to advanced degenerative disc disease.

Neuromuscular scoliosis can also occur, which describes spinal curvature caused by diseases like polio, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy or atrophy of the spinal muscles. Degenerative scoliosis, also called adult-onset scoliosis, can occur when the components of the spine begin to collapse. This type of scoliosis can develop in people who had scoliosis earlier in life and are now experiencing a progression of the condition, or it can also develop in adults who have never had scoliosis.
