June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, and scoliosis is not just a condition that affects teenagers.
Adult scoliosis is more common than many people realise. While some curves remain stable throughout life, others may change over time and can contribute to changes in posture, balance, mobility, and pain.
Changes in spinal alignment are not limited to scoliosis. Many adults notice increasing stooping posture, difficulty standing upright, loss of height, or a tendency to lean forwards with age. These changes may be related to sagittal balance, spinal degeneration, osteoporosis, scoliosis, or simply the ageing process.
Importantly, not all postural changes or spinal asymmetries require treatment. However, if you have noticed changes in your posture, alignment, height, or spinal shape, it may be worth having them assessed.
At UprightCare, our team has extensive experience managing scoliosis, spinal deformity, sagittal balance disorders, and complex spine conditions across all ages. We help patients better understand their spinal health and, where appropriate, monitor changes over time and develop individualised management strategies.
Early assessment can provide reassurance, establish a baseline, and help identify those patients who may benefit from ongoing monitoring or treatment.
