Scoliosis Relief in Singapore
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine that causes stiffness and pain. People with scoliosis have a sideways curve in their spine that makes an “S” or “C” shape.The vertebrae can rotate at the thoracic level of the spine causing this curve and resulting in a hump near the rib cage.
What are types of scoliosis?
- Idiopathic scoliosis: Most common. The cause is unknown and accounts for about 80-85% of scoliosis cases.
- Congenital scoliosis: Present at birth caused by abnormal spinal development in the womb such as vertebrae may be incompletely formed or fused together.
- Degenerative scoliosis: Adult-onset scoliosis due to degenerative disease. Osteoporosis can soften the bone causing the vertebrae to bend and shape the curve.
- Neuromuscular scoliosis:Associated with conditions like muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and spinal muscular atrophy due to weakness or imbalance in the muscles supporting the spine.
What are the symptoms of scoliosis?
- Postural changes such as leaning on one side more than the other.
- Visible signs: One shoulder may appear higher than the other, prominent shoulder blade, uneven waist,or hip asymmetry.
- Pain and stiffness
- Breathing issues: severe curvature can affect breathing.
