With scoliosis, the bones of the spine twist to either side. They then turn on each other like a corkscrew. In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is unknown.

Scoliosis Pain Relief Without Surgery

Scoliosis pain relief is quite possible without surgery.   Even when scoliosis is structural and with a significant curve there are many treatment options that can be quite effective.   This is because other structures such as muscle, nerve, and ligament often are the source of the pain, even spinal curvature is obvious.  In fact quite often the soft tissues surrounding the spine and the effects of scoliosis on the rest of the body hurt more than the cure itself. At Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA we offer scoliosis spinal care for patients in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and surrounding areas.  We make use of musculoskeletal ultrasound, electrodiagnostics, and other less well known studies such as medical thermal imaging to diagnosis the root cause of your pain and then apply specific treatment options that try to restore tissue to normal.  The goal is always to improve function and quality of life while reducing pain, weakness, or numbness.   Learn more about diagnosis and treatment options for scoliosis at piedmontpmr.com.
