If you have Scoliosis and you have pain, what are your options to get some relief?

There are two types of patients:

  • Kids with Scoliosis who normally have no symptoms or pain
  • Adults complaining about severe pain

Why do we have people with the same exact condition but feel very different?

Is Scoliosis always painful?

Every case of Scoliosis is unique. 

We know Scoliosis is not commonly painful in children and adolescents. Kids don't feel pain as a result of Scoliosis. In fact, if they feel pain, it's normally very mild and it may not be any different from kids that don't have Scoliosis. Therefore, we don't expect children to experience pain. In fact, if they have pain, we normally consider that a red flag and we're normally looking for another cause. 

So if you have a child who has scoliosis and they have no pain. As a result of it, don't be surprised. That's not unusual. That's very, very common. And that doesn't mean that curve isn't worsening normally with children. The only thing that you're seeing is postural signs. 

When it comes to adults, the first thing that's actually causing the problem is that Scoliosis is unfortunate and can become painful. And the reason why it can become painful is because of how the curve progresses in an adult is very different than how the curve progresses in a child. The type of pain adults tend to feel is most likely back pain. It's gonna be right at the size of the curve. It can also lead to other types of issues. It can lead to pain that's capping from compressed nerves in the area of the spinal curvature. 

And this compression can lead to:

  • Numbness or radiating pain down into your legs or arms across your rib cage, even up into your face and head. 
  • It can lead to muscle pain and tightness and soreness because of the unbalance. 
  • It can lead to fatigue in the body. It can also lead to lower extremity pain like hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and foot pain

The same thing is true with your body, so you can have more pain on one leg on one side of your body, a knee and those kinds of things that could be a sign that the curve is actually progressing. In fact, sometimes in adults, that's the very first symptom they start having a unilateral hip or knee or ankle problem, and they've had no injury.
