Scoliosis can affect the spine in many ways. It is the development of an unnatural sideways curvature of the spine with rotation.

The condition is classified based on the size of the Cobb angle of the curve when taken on an X-ray. The size of the curve oilseed does not determine how much pain the patient will feel due to the scoliosis.

Mild: Cobb angle measurement of 10-25 degrees
Moderate: Cobb angle measurement of 26-40 degrees
Severe: Cobb angle measurement of 40-80 degrees
Very severe: Cobb angle measurement 80 degrees or greater

Scoliosis is more comely painful in adult patients since this is when the condition worsens due to compressive forces, not growth. As a result of gravity, over time, the spine and surrounding tissues and muscles are more vulnerable to compression.

The main symptom of scoliosis in adults is pain, and the most common area is the low back. Because of this unnatural curve, the spine is contracting these muscles asymmetrically, leading to muscle pain or tightness.

The main diagnostic feature of scoliosis in children and adolescents is postural changes. They don’t commonly feel pain as their progression is based on their growth.

Scoliosis can cause many types of issues. Lumbar scoliosis can affect the lower extremities, such as hip, knee, or ankle pain. The more weight one site takes on versus the other, the more common it is to see degeneration. With thoracic scoliosis, it is common to see rib pain as a result of the ribs arching. Cervical scoliosis can affect shoulders with feelings of pain or tightness as the nerves in the area are compressed. You may see the shoulders become uneven. It can also lead to headaches when spinal fluid doesn’t flow properly due to the compression of the spine.

If you have scoliosis and are experiencing symptoms or discomfort, we recommend treating the scoliosis when it is small, as it will progress over time. Treating curves earlier commonly provides better results. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer proactive treatment to reduce the curve and help prevent other problems from appearing.
