Scoliosis
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Conditions range from mild to severe and in many cases the latter abnormalities are visually apparent. Scoliosis may either be genetic or result from a degenerative joint condition in the spine. Clinically, KKT has found Scoliosis is most likely to be a combination of the above factors.
It's estimated that 4% of all children between the age of 10 and 14 have detectable scoliosis with 60% to 80% of all cases occurring in adolescent girls. Most people with scoliosis have barely noticeable curvatures.
Despite the seriousness of the condition, many individuals with Scoliosis may experience no apparent symptoms other than vague muscle back pain, stiffness and/or fatigue.
Signs of Potential Concern:
- Uneven hips and waist resulting in escalating discomfort.
- A deformity in the chest causing uneven shoulder blades in the back and a rib hump.
- Shoulders are different heights and one shoulder blade is more prominent.
- Unevenness to breasts.
- Entire body leans to one side.
If you have any of these symptoms or related concerns, please schedule a visit to a KKT Centre near you for a detailed assessment. Contact Us.
