Understanding Scoliosis:
Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Struggling with Scoliosis? Discover Supportive Solutions with Impulse Physical Therapy.
Living with scoliosis poses its share of challenges. In the United States, up to 3 million people are estimated to be affected by this condition, which, if left untreated, can lead to pain and even disability. Scoliosis manifests through uneven shoulders, one shoulder blade being more prominent, an asymmetrical waistline, one hip being higher than the other, and a “rib hump” on either side of the spine.
Early detection plays a crucial role in preventing the condition from worsening. If scoliosis is identified in its early stages, bracing might be recommended, as it can help halt the progression of the curvature. For more severe cases, surgery may become necessary.
At Impulse Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive care for individuals living with scoliosis. Our experienced therapists and healthcare professionals are committed to helping you regain alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance your overall well-being.
Whether you’re seeking early intervention or ongoing support, our personalized treatment plans are tailored to address your unique needs.

Understanding Scoliosis: An Abnormal Curvature of the Spine
Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by an atypical curvature of the spine. This curvature takes on the shape of either an “S” or a “C,” affecting the body’s posture and overall alignment. Various factors can contribute to scoliosis, including genetic predisposition, neuromuscular conditions, or developmental issues.
When left untreated, scoliosis can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and potential complications impacting the heart and lungs. However, with appropriate therapy and intervention, individuals with scoliosis can effectively manage their condition and enjoy an active lifestyle. Early detection and proper care are essential for minimizing its impact and maintaining a healthy quality of life.
