causes

A lateral bending of the spine may be congenital or often occur during adolescence or childhood. It is usually difficult to fathom the trigger of a non-congenital scoliosis. The causative factors are static incorrect loads, metabolic disorders, hereditary factors, organic, muscular, connective tissue or neurological diseases or accidents.

complaints

Whether any symptoms occur depends, among other things, on the localization and the severity of scoliosis. It is suspected that in severe scoliosis unilateral stresses occur, which cause a strong degeneration of the affected structures and can lead to the appearance of complaints. In addition to back pain, back pain and flank pain also include unilateral neck tension, muscle tension on the middle and lower back, Durchbrechgefühl and stiffness in Rücken.Wenn the scoliosis is pronounced, of course, surrounding structures can be affected with their supply. This can affect organs, such as the heart, lungs, stomach or kidneys. (Thorsten Fischer, Naturopath Osteopathy)
