Are You Finding It Challenging to Live with Scoliosis?

Living with scoliosis can be a challenging experience. It is estimated that up to 3 million people in the United States live with scoliosis, which can cause pain or even disability if left untreated. Symptoms of scoliosis include uneven shoulders, one shoulder blade being more prominent than the other, uneven waistline, one hip being higher than the other, and a “rib hump” on either side of the spine.

Early diagnosis is important to prevent further progression of the condition. If scoliosis is detected early, then bracing may be recommended, which can help keep the curvature from worsening. For more severe cases, surgery may be recommended.

Here at Dimensions Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals living with scoliosis. Our experienced therapists and healthcare professionals are committed to helping you restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve your overall well-being.

Whether seeking early intervention or ongoing support, we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.

Let us guide you toward a healthier, more balanced life.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. This curvature can manifest as an “S” or a “C” shape, impacting the body’s posture and overall alignment. Various factors, including genetic predisposition, neuromuscular conditions, or developmental issues, may cause scoliosis.

If left untreated, scoliosis can lead to discomfort, decreased mobility, and potential complications affecting the heart and lungs. However, with appropriate therapy and intervention, individuals with scoliosis can effectively manage their condition and enjoy an active lifestyle.
