Specializes in Internal Medicine

Posture can impact the muscles. Scoliosis is a structural problem of the bones. So the poor posture can lead to pain and spasm of muscles. Seeking muscle work like a good chiropractor or physical therapist of a exercise physiologist can best assess the real problem.
