The impact of scoliosis on people of different age groups

When you are young (15~25 years old)

There are generally no major symptoms and less pain, so it is easy to ignore.

Appearance: The shoulders are one high and the other is low, one side of the back bulges when bending forward, the waistline is asymmetrical, or the hips are asymmetrical and tilt to one side.

Adults (25~50 years old)

Abnormalities are observed in appearance and the most common severe symptoms are back pain and lumbago

You will also feel tired and have difficulty breathing, your height will become shorter, your ribs will bulge, your waistline will be asymmetrical, you will experience gastrointestinal discomfort, chest tightness, and discomfort when lying down.

But it won’t hinder work and daily life

After middle-aged and old age (after 50 years old)

As we age, our daily postures are incorrect, our muscles are lost, and our spine becomes unstable.

It aggravates low back pain and may cause cardiopulmonary function problems due to deformation of the spine and chest.

Coupled with spinal degeneration, it can lead to problems such as facet joint disease, intervertebral disc degeneration, muscle fatigue, spinal coronal and sagittal imbalance, intervertebral foramen or spinal foramen stenosis, etc.
