This curvature can lead to imbalances in the body's alignment, resulting in uneven shoulders, waistline asymmetry, or an uneven hip position. Scoliosis may sometimes cause back pain, muscle stiffness, or breathing difficulties if the curve is severe and affects lung capacity.Diagnosing Scoliosis involves a physical examination where a healthcare professional examines the spine's alignment and may request X-rays or other imaging tests to measure the curvature accurately. Treatment for Scoliosis depends on factors such as: the severity of the curve, the age of the individual, and the potential for progression all play a factor in the treatment.Living with Scoliosis can have emotional and psychological impacts, particularly during the teenage years when body image and self-esteem are crucial.
