Episode 95: Hormones and Your Curve

How do hormones affect your scoliosis curve?

The hormones in your body can impact your scoliosis symptoms and even accelerate curve progression. This can be especially true for women, who experience significant hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.

However, there are several ways to counteract those hormonal effects and prevent your curve from progressing. This episode covers how hormones impact scoliosis and what to do about it:

  • Statistics about scoliosis in men vs. women
  • How hormonal changes can accelerate curve progression
  • The importance of early scoliosis diagnosis
  • The link between melatonin and scoliosis
  • How the menstrual cycle influences scoliosis pain
  • How and why scoliosis can progress during pregnancy
  • Menopause, bone density, and curve progression

Catch the full episode for all the details.
