SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS

Early signs of scoliosis include the head appears to be off-center, one shoulder seems higher than the other, ribcage appears uneven, the shirt doesn’t seem to fit correctly, one leg seems shorter than the others. Symptoms of scoliosis may include fatigability, shortness of breath, palpitations, decreased endurance, and pain. Scoliosis can be congenital, degenerative, syndromic, neuromuscular, functional, and idiopathic. Conservative management of Scoliosis includes physical modalities such as HMP, TENS, and Ultrasound; physical therapy to correct the muscular imbalance, and bracing.
