Q: Most cases of adult scoliosis are idiopathic, meaning there is no known reason why the person developed it. Other potential causes include: Congenital curve This means you were born with scoliosis. It may have been overlooked when you were a child, but may have worsened over time. Paralytic curve If the muscles surrounding your spine begin to fail, the spine may slowly begin to curve out of place, leading to scoliosis. This is often caused by a spinal cord injury and may eventually cause paralysis. Secondary causes Scoliosis may occur due to a different spinal condition, such as degeneration, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, or following spinal surgery. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to prevent scoliosis in adults; instead, focus is placed on relieving pain associated with scoliosis. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary, but otherwise you will likely focus on strengthening your spine and managing pain. There are some things you can do to strengthen your muscles and possibly prevent scoliosis from worsening or from increased pain. Physical therapy and water therapy can be helpful, and chiropractic treatment may improve pain. Speak with a licensed physical therapist to develop a program tailored to strengthening your muscles and keeping your back flexible. Water or pool therapy can take some of the stress off your joints, allowing you to focus on strengthening the muscles in your back without the limitations of gravity. A chiropractor can help keep your facet joints supple and help with pain. In order to maintain strong, straight and healthy vertebrae and other bones of the body, you need to regularly eat foods rich in certain minerals and vitamins. More specifically, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus form the mineral matrix of your bones (spine too), and a dietary deficiency in any of these can lead to weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis) that are susceptible to breaking. Once the vertebrae start to fracture and degrade, the spine can list to one side and develop into what's called degenerative adult scoliosis. Vitamin D is also an important nutrient for strong bones because it's needed for calcium absorption in the intestines. Not enough vitamin D leads to "soft" bones (called rickets in children or osteomalacia in adults) that are easily deformed or unnaturally curved. Rich food sources of calcium include: collard greens, kale, spinach, sardines, tofu, dairy products, almonds and sesame seeds. Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to intense sunshine, although many people try to avoid the sun. Vitamin D isn't found in many foods, but the best sources are: fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel), fish oils, beef liver, hard cheese and egg yolks.
A: Understand the causes of adult scoliosis. Understand the limitations of preventing scoliosis. Increase strength, flexibility, and range of motion with exercise. Eat nutritious foods.

Q: to keep track of your progress. Within your 30-day period, it might be helpful to start a weight loss journal. Take notes about your food intake, exercise, and overall progress. Additionally, write about any challenges or successes you have during your 30 day diet. When trying to lose 6 kg in 30 days, you may realize you cannot make your exact goal at the end of that 30 days that's okay. If you've kept a journal about your successful diet and exercise plan, you can continue with these notes until you actually do meet your goal. Write down your meal plans or record what you eat in your journal. This will be very helpful to you if you continue with your weight loss. You'll be able to see what works and what doesn't. You may also want to write down notes about what exercise plan or pattern works best for you, as well. You can also use websites or apps on your smartphone to track your calories and exercise. It can be difficult to follow a strict diet for an entire month. Keeping your goals and motivations front and center can help keep you focused. Write out motivational sayings and post them where you'll see them every day. For instance, write them in your journal or on post-it notes. Then, stick them on the fridge, on your desk at work, or by your bedside. Think about why you want to lose weight. Is it to get into a smaller pant size? Is it to help you feel more confident? Or to help you manage a chronic disease? Write out these reasons so you can be reminded of the reason why you want to lose weight. When you're feeling challenged or down about your diet, review these little quotes and motivational sayings. Repeat them to yourself so you can start to feel a little more positive about sticking to your plan. Pick someone or something to keep you accountable. This might be a friend, family member, your food journal, or the scale. This will help keep you accountable when you're trying to lose weight. Tell friends and family members about your 30-day diet and desire to lose some weight. You can have them support you, but you can also call, text or email them your progress. Getting on the scale regularly is another way to stay accountable. Those who weigh in often generally see more weight loss in the long-term. Don't weigh yourself too often, though once or twice a week is enough to track your progress.
