Scoliosis testing has just recently become common in public schools, but studies reveal that this condition has been a cause of back pain for years. Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine loses its normal curvature and develops a lateral curve. When this occurs, the individual vertebrates located on the the spine are also stressed, causing the ribcage to distort. Scoliosis has been found to be more common in women, but its causes have yet to be determined.

As a result of scoliosis, back pain symptoms may wreak havoc along the curve of the spine. Generally speaking, the severity of the pain depends on the level of distortion. More serious curves will produce more back pain and even paralysis. Typically, back pain from scoliosis will be accompanied by bouts of tingling & numbness.

Regardless of severity, scoliosis is a serious condition that must be treated to prevent bodily harm. If you think you may be experiencing back pain from scoliosis, please consult with a clinician for further evaluation.
