Specializes in Pediatrics

Further Evaluation: Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The most common type has no underlying cause & pain is not a feature. Other causes of scoliosis are associated with medical disorders & pain can be a symptom. It is difficult to say what is causing your pain or if it is indeed related to your scoliosis. Further evaluation is needed. Follow-up with your doctor or Orthopedic Specialist to address the pain.
