How to deal with scoliosis?

Scoliosis can be treated through a combination of physical therapy, durable medical equipment like braces, and chiropractic care.

What is scoliosis caused by?

Scoliosis can be caused by a malformation at birth, spine injuries, and tumors.

What does scoliosis pain feel like?

Scoliosis pain feels like a dull, aching pain in the lower back or thoracic spine. This pain can feel worse with prolonged sitting or standing.

What things worsen scoliosis?

If your scoliosis is severe, ignoring the pain and acting as if the condition isn't affecting you allows it to worsen. Additionally, improper form while lifting heavy weights or performing high-impact exercises can make the condition worse.

What Is Scoliosis?

We specialize in the treatment of Scoliosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that typically develops during growth years of children, but can also appear or worsen in adulthood. It can be subtle, or more visibly noticeable, depending on the degree of the curve. If you have been told to “just monitor it” … we encourage you to get assessed as there is a proactive approach to minimize or correct the condition.

• Uneven shoulders, waist, or hips • One shoulder blade that sticks out more than the other • Rib cage rotation or visible lean • Chronic back pain or stiffness • Fatigue after standing or sitting • Head or neck that seems off-center • Clothing that hangs unevenly

Scoliosis ranges from mild to severe—and even mild curves can cause discomfort, movement issues, or self-esteem concerns over time.

What Causes Scoliosis?

Most scoliosis is idiopathic, meaning the cause isn’t fully understood. However, several factors can contribute:

Genetics (family history of scoliosis)

Growth spurts during adolescence

Poor posture or weak core muscles

Neuromuscular conditions

Degenerative disc disease in adults

Past injury or trauma to the spine

Scoliosis isn’t caused by heavy backpacks, poor posture, or sleeping position—but those factors can worsen the symptoms if left unaddressed.

When Should You Seek Help?

Scoliosis may progress over time if left unmanaged. You should schedule an evaluation if:

You or your child have been diagnosed but aren’t under care

You notice postural changes or asymmetry

You experience frequent back pain, fatigue, or stiffness

The curve seems to be worsening

You’ve had past injuries or surgeries that affect your alignment

Early care can make a significant difference in managing the curve and preventing complications.
