10 Symptoms of Scoliosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Head Off-Center
The head is usually placed perfectly central on the top of our bodies. It is a good position for the head to be as it keeps it away from the ground, and also gives us a better viewpoint from which to spot food or predators. Patients with scoliosis, however, may have a head that is off-center to their body.
This is because the curvature of the spine can cause the head to grow at an awkward angle and the patient’s head might naturally lean to one side. It is something that can sometimes be treated, depending on the severity of the condition.
