Understanding Scoliosis Pain
What is Scoliosis Pain?
Scoliosis pain refers to discomfort associated with the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, leading to imbalances and strain on the musculoskeletal system, impacting posture, movement, and quality of life.
What are the Symptoms?
Common symptoms of Scoliosis pain include:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- Persistent back pain
- Stiffness and limited spine motion
- Muscle fatigue and spasms
- Pain worsening with prolonged activity
- Visible spine curvature
What Causes Scoliosis Pain?
There are several common causes of Scoliosis pain, including:
Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type with no known cause, often developing during adolescence.
Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by spinal abnormalities present at birth.
Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Results from neurological or muscular conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
Degenerative Scoliosis: Occurs in adults due to age-related wear and tear on the spine.
Muscle Imbalance: Abnormal curvature causes muscles on one side of the spine to become overworked and strained.
Natural History
Scoliosis pain can worsen over time if untreated, becoming chronic and debilitating. Early detection and intervention are crucial.
Who Does It Affect?
Scoliosis affects all ages, most commonly children and adolescents during growth spurts. It’s more prevalent in females and can also occur in adults due to aging.
Can Chiropractic Help?
Chiropractic care can help manage scoliosis pain through spinal adjustments. At iSpine Chiropractic, thorough examinations determine the cause of pain, providing targeted care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
