10 Symptoms of Scoliosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Leaning
Standing up straight is the usual posture for people. We could lean to either side, but it is not a good idea to do this for too long. This is because standing straight keeps the center of balance on top of the spine pushing down, helping to distribute our weight evenly.
However, this is not so easy in people with scoliosis. The curvature of their spine means that they have no choice but to lean to one side and their spine just may not allow them to stand straight. In some cases, this can be treated according to the severity of the condition.
