Expert diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment in Dallas, Texas.
Scoliosis is when your spine curves sideways instead of staying straight. It often starts in childhood but can get worse later in life and can make one shoulder or hip look higher than the other.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition:
Reduced lung capacity from rib-cage rotation.
Muscle tiredness after extended activity due to imbalance.
Aching along the curved area that worsens with prolonged standing.
Visible asymmetry when standing straight.
