Episode 79: Scoliosis Symptoms
Patients with scoliosis encounter diverse issues stemming from their condition. Idiopathic scoliosis, the most common type, constitutes 80% of diagnosed cases, characterized by an unknown cause.
Types of Scoliosis
Symptoms Across Age Groups
Scoliosis does not discriminate by age, affecting individuals from infancy to old age. Idiopathic scoliosis manifests differently in adolescents and adults, with the latter experiencing adult idiopathic scoliosis.
Postural Deviations and Structural Impact
Scoliosis introduces uneven forces due to asymmetrical compression or gravitational forces. Postural deviations, including unbalanced shoulders and rib cage, result from these uneven forces. The structural impact extends to digestive issues and headaches, particularly as patients age.
Diagnosis and Progression
Diagnosis in adolescents often stems from noticeable postural changes, prompting referrals for further examination. Adults, however, typically seek medical attention due to pain, a prevalent symptom not commonly experienced in children. Pain in adults is not always directly proportional to the size of the curve but is influenced by its progression over time.
Factors Influencing Symptoms
Proactive treatment is crucial, aiming to slow down or stop the progression of the curve. It is important to treat the scoliosis itself, not just managing symptoms. The Scoliosis Reduction Center focuses on reducing the curve's size, offering a unique approach to managing and improving scoliosis conditions.
