Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often resembling an ‘S’ or ‘C’ shape. In many cases, the spine may also rotate or twist, further affecting posture and alignment.

Causes and Symptoms of Scoliosis

Scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed during adolescence but can also develop later in adulthood. While it can affect anyone, women are more likely than men to develop a significant curvature that requires treatment.

Although 80% of scoliosis cases have no known cause, the condition often runs in families. In adults, scoliosis can result from spinal disc degeneration due to arthritis or osteoporosis. Less commonly, it may arise from underlying conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, birth defects, early childhood surgeries, injuries, or infections.

Common symptoms of scoliosis may include:

Treatments

Scoliosis is typically diagnosed through a physical examination and may involve diagnostic imaging tools such as X-rays, CT scans, EOS imaging, or MRI to assess the condition’s severity and type. Treatment plans are tailored based on the type of scoliosis, the degree of spinal curvature, and the age of onset.

If you have been diagnosed with scoliosis, your physician may recommend one or more of the following treatment options:

  • Bracing: To prevent further curvature progression.
  • Physical Therapy: To improve posture, strength, and flexibility.
  • Exercise: To support spinal health and enhance mobility.

Benefits of Bracing For Scoliosis

Wearing a scoliosis brace for just a few hours daily has been proven to provide significant relief from chronic back pain. By combining targeted compression with support, bracing helps improve spinal alignment, enhances posture, and restores the body’s natural center of gravity for better balance and comfort.
