Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that may develop during childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. It can be mild and symptom-free or cause back pain, uneven shoulders, and postural imbalance. While severe cases may require bracing or surgery, physiotherapy plays a key role in improving posture, strengthening spinal muscles, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility. Early detection and evidence-based rehabilitation can significantly improve function and quality of life.
Causes Of Scoliosis:
- Idiopathic (most common, especially in adolescents)
- Congenital spinal deformities present at birth
- Neuromuscular conditions (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy)
- Degenerative spine changes in older adults
- Poor posture and muscular imbalances (functional scoliosis)
Symptoms Of Scoliosis:
- Visible spinal curve or uneven waist/shoulders
- Back pain or stiffness
- One hip or shoulder appearing higher
- Uneven ribcage or shoulder blade prominence
- Fatigue after prolonged sitting or standing
- Reduced flexibility or range of motion
