What Types of Pain does Scoliosis Cause?
Pain is one of the most common symptoms of scoliosis and can appear in multiple areas of the body. The pain areas are the head, neck (cervical), shoulders, upper back (thoracic), lower back (lumbar), hips, and sciatic nerves. As a patient or caregiver, it’s important to be aware of typical treatments for pain management. General practice pediatricians, orthopedists, and physical therapists often attempt to treat pain with options that act more like a band-aid than a permanent solution.
