Scoliosis Symptoms

Scoliosis

Scoliosis
  • The symptoms of scoliosis are:
  • Prominent shoulder blade
  • Uneven hip and shoulder levels.
  • Asymmetric size or location of breast in females.
  • Unequal distance between arms and body
  • Clothes that do not "hang right"
  • Muscle mass that causes a "hump" on one side of the spine
  • A rib "hump"

Shoulders that have a lack of spine reinforcement can hurt if large amounts of weight are placed upon them. Back pain caused by scoliosis can manifest mainly in the younger of those affected (usually from childhood to the age of about 25) during times of heavy muscular growth, such as growth spurts, due to the irregular shaping of the spine and the resulting compensation that the person's body has to make for that irregular shape. This pain can be anywhere from mild pain to heavier, more debilitating pain, and is often felt in the musculature directly surrounding the spine instead of in the spine itself. Due to this muscular compensation stiffness of the back and neck can also occur, especially if the curve in the spine is located higher up in the back.
