Find Relief from Back Pain
Scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, can cause pain, postural problems, and in severe cases, even breathing difficulties. While it’s often diagnosed in adolescents, adults can also develop scoliosis due to wear and tear on the spine. If you’re experiencing back pain, uneven shoulders or hips, or have noticed a curvature in your spine, Tulsa Pain Consultants offers expert diagnosis and effective treatment options for scoliosis.
Recognize the Symptoms of Scoliosis
Early detection and treatment of scoliosis are essential for managing the condition and preventing further progression. Watch for these common signs:
- Visible Curvature: A noticeable curve in your spine, often causing one shoulder or hip to appear higher than the other.
- Back Pain: Persistent or intermittent pain, usually located in the curved area of your spine.
- Uneven Posture: One shoulder blade may be more prominent, or your waist and hips may appear uneven.
- Fatigue: The muscles supporting your spine may tire easily, especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
- Breathing Difficulties: In severe cases, the spinal curvature can impact lung function, making it harder to breathe.
- Limited Range of Motion: You may experience restricted flexibility in your spine, affecting your ability to move freely.
Understanding the Causes of Scoliosis
Scoliosis can have different causes, including:
- Idiopathic Scoliosis: This is the most common type, typically developing during adolescence without a clear cause.
- Congenital Scoliosis: This type is present at birth and results from abnormal spinal development.
- Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Associated with neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
- Degenerative Scoliosis: This occurs in adults due to age-related wear and tear on the spine.
- Other Factors: Genetics and certain medical conditions can also contribute to scoliosis.
