Patients with scoliosis may be unable to work because of their disease and its related complications. Patients who cannot work because of their scoliosis may qualify for\u00a0long-term disability (LTD)<\/a>\u00a0benefits. The insurance company will review their claim to see if they qualify under the conditions of that plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scoliosis causes a sideways curve of the backbone or spine. These curves are often S- or C-shaped. Scoliosis is most common in late childhood and early teens when children grow fast; however, the condition can last into adulthood.
