Functional scoliosis (no deformation of the spine)

functional scoliosis

  • The spine itself is not deformed, but is a problem of muscle strength imbalance.
  • Due to the long-term imbalance of force exerted by both sides of the body and long-term use of one side, the overall alignment of the spine will become skewed over time.
  • Patients may often have problems such as long and short feet, collapsed and flat arches, pelvic tilt and stuck, muscle imbalance, incorrect posture, and stuck small joints of the spine.
  • Having been injured, uneven force exerted on the body is also the cause of scoliosis.
  • Usually, as long as the cause of the body's tilt is found, external intervention can be used to improve functional scoliosis.
  • You will see more severe spinal misalignment when standing, but it will improve when you lie down.
  • There are many reasons for functional scoliosis, such as uneven muscle activity or tension on the left and right sides of the trunk, bad posture habits or long or short feet, etc. Sometimes physical discomfort or pain can also cause temporary function problems. Scoliosis.
