Casgliad: Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a medical condition where the spine curves sideways in an "S" or "C" shape. This curvature can occur at any part of the spine but is most commonly found in the thoracic or lumbar regions.
Symptoms of scoliosis can vary but typically include:
- Uneven shoulders or waist
- One hip higher than the other
- A visible curve in the spine
- Back pain and discomfort
- Fatigue due to muscle strain.
Managing scoliosis often involves a combination of medical treatment, physical therapy, and supportive products to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Here are some products that can help and scroll down for more information on products and benefits that may help.
