Scoliosis: Scoliosis can present in many ways. Early in life (before and during puberty)  this is often congenital related to the development as a fetus.

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition of curvature of the spine.  The spine and pelvis are a continuous unit, like a stack of blocks.  It is very likely that changes in your pelvis are compensating for the curvature of your spine in order to maintain your body balance.  Consult an osteopathic physician or chiropractor for spine and pelvic alignment treatments.

Question 10

have scoliosis my pelvis is uneven so one leg is shorter than the other and i'm usually in pain when i walk more than 20 mins. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Shoe lift: Using a shoe lift to fill the space on the shorter side is helpful.  A physiatrist or a good orthotist can help you figure out what is the right thickness for the shoe lift.   Trying several thicknesses is important, sometimes completely filling the space to the floor is too much.  There will be some trial and error.
