Episode 95: How Scoliosis Affects Your Body
Wondering how scoliosis impacts your body? Let Dr. Tony Nalda break it down for you.
Scoliosis is when your spine curves sideways unnaturally, and it can happen in your lower back, upper back, or neck. It can be measured and if it’s 10 degrees or more, you've got scoliosis.
Your Spine's Role
Think of your spine as your body's support beam – it connects your hips, ribs, arms, and more. It helps you move comfortably and, importantly, shields your spinal cord, which acts like a master controller for your body.
What You See and What You Don't
Scoliosis doesn't just show up in your posture; it goes deeper. It can mess with your nerves and muscles, causing pain, especially in adulthood. Your muscles might struggle to keep everything in balance, leading to issues in your hips, knees, and feet.
Understanding Progression
Scoliosis can get worse over time, and there's a way to measure it called the Cobb angle. From mild to severe, each stage brings different problems. The trick? Don't wait – be proactive. Get your spine checked regularly to catch and treat any issues early on.
In conclusion, Scoliosis is a journey, and understanding it is key. Listen to Dr. Tony Nalda’s podcast for insights that can help you take control of your scoliosis.
