Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine with rotation and Cobb angle measurement of 10 degrees or greater. Severity levels are directly related to the size of the Cobb angle, not its effect on the patient. Mild scoliosis would be between 10-25 degrees, moderate 25-40 degrees, severe 40+ degrees, and very severe would be 80+ degrees.

There is no relation between the size of the curve and pain. It is not common for scoliosis to be painful in children, especially during growth. In the adult form, however, when the spine begins to compress and affect the surrounding tissues and nerves is when scoliosis can become painful. And this compressive nature of scoliosis in the adult form leads to pain. It is the number one side effect that we see with scoliosis.

Scoliosis symptoms vary case by case, not necessarily based on the size of the curvature. As the curves become more severe, surgery may be recommended. While spinal surgery does make the spine straighter, it comes at the cost of loss of flexibility, as what they're doing is spinal fusion. This leads to a decrease in spinal flexibility and range of motion.

Scoliosis is a progressive condition but highly treatable, especially with early detection and treatment. We recommend treating scoliosis at a smaller size. We use condition-specific chiropractic care, which is managed by using traditional chiropractic methods and therapy to reduce the curve and make the spine more stable and structurally sound. We use in-office therapy, bracing, and customized home exercises to help stabilize the spine and sustain long-term results for the patient.

Reducing the size of the curve in a proactive manner can deliver the most effective results.
