What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis can affect the way your body moves, feels, and functions over time.
At Tree of Life Wellness Center, we take a gentle, supportive approach to help your body stay as balanced and comfortable as possible. Our focus is not just on the curve itself, but on how your body is adapting and what it needs to function better.
When your spine and nervous system are supported, your body can move more freely and feel more stable.
Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can vary from mild to more noticeable changes in posture and movement.
While the spine naturally curves when viewed from the side, scoliosis creates a curve when viewed from the front or back.
This can lead to:
- Uneven posture
- Muscle imbalance
- Tension or discomfort
- Changes in how the body moves
Scoliosis often develops during growth periods but can affect people at any stage of life.
Even when the curve itself cannot be fully corrected, supporting the body properly can make a big difference in how you feel and function day to day.
Common Causes
Growth and Development
Scoliosis often develops during periods of rapid growth, especially in adolescence.
Muscle Imbalance
Uneven muscle strength and tension can contribute to how the spine shifts and adapts over time.
Structural Changes
Some cases are related to how the spine forms or develops, creating a natural curve.
Injury or Stress on the Spine
Physical stress, repetitive movement, or injury can affect spinal alignment and posture.
Degenerative Changes
As the body ages, changes in the spine can influence curvature and stability.
