How to Minimize Scoliosis Pain
Scoliosis is a condition of the spine that involves the spine curving or twisting to the side. This can put a strain on the muscles in the back, along with pulling the ribcage out of position. Scoliosis affects about 7 million people in the United States, and this condition can be congenital (from birth) or developed throughout the lifespan.
Scoliosis is often characterized by pain in the back, as well as other symptoms such as:
- Abnormal posture
- Uneven hips or shoulders
- A visibly curved spine
- Head not centered on the body
Typically, the best way to treat scoliosis pain is to treat scoliosis itself. Depending on the severity of scoliosis, this can be done through methods such as bracing the spine and surgical intervention. However, many times scoliosis is not severe enough to warrant surgery and physical therapy can make huge improvements in pain reduction.
Hydrotherapy is often used to help patients will scoliosis perform exercises and stretches without worrying about balance or the weight of the body. The buoyancy and resistance of the water can provide a perfect setting to relieve pressure and pain while reaping the benefits of certain movements.
Exercises that target the stomach and back muscles, such as swimming, yoga, and pilates, are also recommended to help strengthen the supporting muscles and relieve pain. By building the strength and flexibility of surrounding muscles, your body is better able to support the spine and minimize pressure on the surrounding structures.
Many of our trained physical therapists have over 25 years of experience, and that includes the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis-related conditions. We provide comprehensive assessments of every patient and recommend the best next steps to help you reach your goals.
