Scoliosis: When the spine decides to take a crooked path...
Imagine that your spine is a compass, but instead of pointing straight ahead, it decides to follow its own curves. This is scoliosis, a condition in which the spine curves sideways, resembling the letter "S" or "C." But don't worry - at the Center for Kinesitherapy, Massage and Rehabilitation - Office Therapy we know how to get your back back on the right track with a personalised approach and professional care.
What is scoliosis and what are its symptoms?
Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that often develops in childhood or adolescence, but can also affect adults. The condition can range from mild to severe and cause discomfort, pain or difficulty in movement.
Main symptoms:
- Uneven shoulders or hips: One shoulder or side of the pelvis may appear higher than the other.
- Limited mobility: A feeling of stiffness or tension in the spine.
- Back pain: Especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
- Posture changes: The body may appear to be tilted to one side.
