Abstract
This report details the expierience with adult lumbar scoliosis among patients at a scoliosis center. Some curves are shown to progress in the adult, while others appear de novo. Pain arising in adult scoliosis may reflect root compression or segmental degeneration. Once pain arises in an adult lumbar curve, it is likely to be progressive and often requires surgical treatment.Keywords
