I have done my operation and I can bend after 6 months 😔 and anyone who goes through this just know that you’ll be okay right after! ❤️ stay strong! “ the more you suffer from pain, the more you’ll become stronger “
ღβεllα _ ɢαchαღ my friend has scoliosis and she got surgery a little bit ago I heard from my friend from my old school and my friend with scoliosis she said that when she bends over her spine is pushing into her ribs and it hurts I miss her so much I had to change schools
I honestly have no idea why "educationional" videos and articles say that scoliosis doesn't cause pain. Literally everyone I've talked to with scoliosis agree : it hurts like a bitch. It's kind of insulting to deny heavy discomfort/chronic pain in scoliosis tbh
I am suffering from it as an adult. When I was a kid my parents did not have the means for any type of treatment. My daughter’s spine is just fine, thank God, but I still monitor it.
I read the comments and most people have it worse than me, I’m young and I have scoliosis, before I read the comments i started to cry bc I was scared, but now I feel selfish....stay strong to those who r dealing with it!
I think my curve was around 27 degrees when the doctors found it, I was 9 years old at the time. My case was perfect for the brace treatment, they luckily found it early enough that I wouldn’t have to worry about surgery IF I wore the brace enough. Which I did, cause I was so terrified of a surgery XD And yes, it was an annoying thing in the 3 years I spent wearing it, but I’m so incredibly glad I did. The discomfort (which I got used to within months) was worth powering through, I think my curve even shrunk a bit by the third year. 23 degrees or maybe even into the teens, I think. I’m 18 now and living very normally, and I just felt like sharing my experience for anyone else who may have this disease.
Hi, I also have scoliosis but I have diagnosed about 5 years ago. Your curve might not be considered severe enough to have a brace. I had a brace for about 1-2 years they were painful and uncomfortable. I looked forward for my rests but this wasn't long as I had to wear it for 20 hours a day. Then in year 9 I had a 10 hour operation to fix it. Before this my curve was 90 degrees. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and i'll try to answer them for you.
I am 14 and was diagnosed of having an Thoracic Dextroscoliosis and im taking my Physical Therapy 2 times a month and not wearing a brace although my curvature is 30°. Thinking of having this is not funny, it making me depressed but I believe in God. I trust him. I know I can surpass anything through his name♥
I have scoliosis and about 2 years ago when I was 10, I got an operation on my 72° curve. I'm so thankful for all the treatment I had received and I would've never gotten this far if I hadn't had the treatment. If anyone sees my comment then take a not about what I have to say: take all the treatment you can get and get an operation as soon as you can or it'll start causing pain.
I got diagnosed with scoliosis and degenerative disc disease when I was 15 , now I’m 18 and have been getting chiropractic treatment for the last 3 years and I believe it’s helped.
Great video and understandable for kids when my daughter gets big enough I'll definitely show her this but I wish there was a a small showing the neck where my daughters c curve is.
I got diagnosed with scoliosis about 5 months ago, and tbh i hate it. It makes me inscure about my body because my waist is uneven and it affects the length of my legs it just overall lowers my self esteem, and my case isnt super horrible but from the time that i got diagnosed to today i have realized it more and more and it sucks because i just want to have a nice body without having to lean on one side of my body without even knowing that im leaning.
I feel your pain. Im 47 and I was exactly like you when I was diagnosed at 10 or 11. Its a hard pill to swallow, but you are more than your body. Clothes will fit differently, but you can find styles that look good. I like empire cut dresses and ones with elastic gathered waistline, I dont wear long dresses because that accentuates the curve. Wide belted dress pants and 1 piece bathing suit that sits very high on the hips is a good style too. I like the fit of some mens sweaters better too because they are a bit longer in the waist. You will find your groove. Its a challenge at first, but everybody out there scoliosis or not has things they want to hide about their bodies. Just look for ways to accentuate all the parts you do like. I even wore a tea length wedding gown when I got married. I hope this helps
Ok , I just want to say something really quick . I have scoliosis 3 years now . I had a 50° degree curve . And I wear a brace thanks to my amazing doctor . So the thing that I wanted to say eventually is that a brace does help you minimize your curve . 🙏
A brace can actually fix your curvature. I've worn one for over a year now, (about a year and a half) originally with a 42 degree curve in my lower back (i forget the exact number, i just know it was 42-46), and it's improved by at least 10 degrees so far
@@shipshipchicken5288, workout can help to reduce the degree, no need for surgery and do not consider surgery as an option unless you have a real severe scoliosis.
@@shipshipchicken5288 I had the surgery but my case was far more severe. Mine was 60 degrees. U should try the brace and if it doesn’t work then u either learn to deal with it or have the surgery.
I got diagnosed when I was 4 had surgery when I was 10. Now Im 12 and going to have surgery next year. Before the surgery my curve was around 70 degres. Im in a lot of pain all the time. But I also have Ehlors Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and I have a lot of pain from that as well.
I had like 130 degrees and I had a surgery :/ it really helped and I’m a lot straight than before yes it might hurt when u wake up from surgery but it’ll go away in less than a week and you’ll feel a lot better:)
I had scoliosis when i was 15 and had it corrected through chiropractic and schroth exercises, I later became a chiropractor and some soft active braces on the market can help improve the curve along with chiropractic and schroth techniques exercises. I'm living proof.
This is a nice, easy to understand video. Thank you for posting it for us to watch. I noticed that all of your graphics showing scoliosis are of females. This unfortunately gives the impression that only females are affected by this condition.I Googled scoliosis and learnt that it affects males too (even though it is much less common than in females).
Scoliosis, Kyphosis & Lordosis can definitely be treated with chiropractic care & physical therapy but sometimes surgery & back bracing are necessary ( like in my case where my curve was almost 80 degrees).
I was recently diagnosed with mild scoliosis since I was a child my shoulders were cracking all the time but my parents didn't appoint meetings with a doctor, I've read somewhere that mild scoliosis can be treated even at a rate of 100%. Is it true?
I’m just completely shocked and confused because I think I have scoliosis. I might have to tell my mom to take me to the doctor to get this checked out. In 7th grade my school had a scoliosis check and a few days later I got sent to the nurses office because my results were different. They gave me a paper that said these big words that I’d didn’t know of at the time. (I didn’t know what scoliosis was) so I actually ignored this and told my mom not to worry because it was nothing. now im in 10th grade and I definitely see much bigger symptoms. I wish I got the help that I needed before it got worse. now I sit here and think that’s it’s too late, I feel bad.
Does anyone know if chiropractic treatment reversed it ? My chiropractor said that my scoliosis was mild so it was reversible ? Is this true ? Please help ?
I have Scoliosis but mine isn’t noticeable but for some reason one of my legs are growing a little faster than the other but its not that noticeable but sometimes ppl from school ask me why I got on a small bus and why I don’t wear a backpack it kinda of annoys me but from all the comments and the video cheered me up God bless you all!❤️❤️❤️
i don’t know if i have it cuz like my mom my grandma and my sister have it and im my spine is always sore and painful but im wondering if its just the woman in my family
Hey so i am 15 years old and i have a mild curve of about 11 to 20 degree and i feel no pain or uncomfortable at all. Should i still go and diagnose it? I don't want to...i am really afraid that it wud be costly cause my family's not doing quite well now. What shall i do?
Idk if I have it and I’m scared of I do, bc I feel like when I’m walking squint or it’s just in my head, is there anyway I could straighten my spin at home if I do have it bc I don’t wanna involve a doctor bc I’m to scared to
Please, please consult a doctor!!! It's so important because it could get worse if you don't do anything. This happened to me and I only found out I had scoliosis a bit late. However, after getting treatment, my scoliosis is better!
I've had Ideopathic Scoliosis for 35 years. Diagnosed around 10 or 11 years old. My thoughts now on the cause lean towards a problem with the gut microbiome absorption of nutrients and the consequent effects being there are hormonal imbalances leading to a deformity in growth. Kids with hip dysplasia also may have these imbalances. It can run in families because others may have this inability to absorb nutrients adequately as well. Constipation might be a symptom of scoliosis worth looking into. Scoliosis does hurt, I dunno why this video says it doesn't. Also, any amount of torsion on your ribcage can affect your heart and lung capacity. I can't handle endurance sports. I have trouble standing for a long time and it is particularly painful around the time of menstruation. Hip and knee issues as also a result of being out of alignment. Best advice: (I opted to not get surgery and used a night brace instead while still growing) keep very flexible, stay fit because any extra weight is so painful on joints even the 10 lbs of covid weight I gained, exercise hips legs and pelvis. Look into Scroth method of exercise to strengthen the parts of your curves that are hard to stretch properly. I have a lot of trouble with core strengthening exercises because it throws my back into spasms. Be conscious of your posture, neck and head back not forward, butt tucked under to engage abs. Chiropractic was not much relief for me but you might have better results.
ik the vid is old now but I wanted to share my story I got diginosted with scoliosis when I was 10 nearly 11 I got a brace a few months later I'm 11 now and getting my X-ray in a week to find out if my brace worked if it didn't il get surgery like my sis who had surgery a year ago. I hope i dont get it bc then my gymnastics corriere will be dont for ! idk how much longer il have the brace too and I'm very scared i hate it too its uncomfortable and weird I'm insecure to show it to my class too (also my curve is 25 rn a few months ago il find our what is is now soon and try tell u )
Hi. My name is Muteb. I am a spine educator and I like this short video. I would like to ask your permission to show it to our patients and translate it to Arabic. Thank you
Hello Muteb. We can translate to Arabic and add closed captions to this video. This will take several weeks. Please email webmaster@childrenscolorado.org with your email address and we will notify you once the translation is ready to be viewed here on CZcams.
I just got diagnosed with it, and I have to go in for an X-ray next week to figure out how bad it is- note, I’m only 13. I don’t know much about scoliosis, so if anyone has any advice...
Hello! I found out I had scoliosis at your age. Personally, my doctor told me that this condition could result from bad posture or genetics. At your age, you're still growing, so it is possible for the curve to get better or worse until your bones stop growing. Personally, I got a back brace, which helped me A LOT. Also, you might want to talk to your parents about schroth physiotherapy. I did it for 3 years and my curve got better. With the back brace and schroth physiotherapy, my curve went from 26-27 degrees to 20-21 degrees in 3 years. I also have an ergonomic chair, which helps me sit long hours without my back feeling uncomfortable and helps with my sitting posture.
Is there a difference between having it from birth (or childhood) and having it due to an injury? I for exemple had an injury to my back and pelvis causing a noticable pelvic tilt and mild scoliosis. I have pain in shoulder back hip knee ankle and even a little bit in elbows. I also have pain in my trapezius muscle. Is it normal that a mild scoliosis + pelvis tilt causes this pain? Cause what I'm hearing is mild scoliosis doesn't really cause pain
The last time a consult to a specialist, he told me that the curve will not grow.. And the pain is just all in my mind.. I have mild case but now im lying here and can't stand..
You will get it!! Don’t give up!! When you speak to the judge, be completely honest about the PAIN and how it affects your life/work and be humble. Good luck!!!
Does anyone have any tips for me? I have to wear a brace every night but I haven't worn it for awhile because I have asthma and I struggle to breathe. Does anyone know how to make it so I can have more air?
Hello sir, im a physical therapist from Turkey and i work with only scoliosis patients. i liked your youtube video What is scoliosis? I was wondering if I can edit this video (mostly text parts in Turkish and use on my instagram page) i can link the original page (Children's Hospital Colorado) to that. Waiting for your reply. Best Regards
@@childrenscolo ty much for quick answer :) there will be no point sharing this as it is since they don't know english. ty tho i guess i will figure out something else.Have a nice day!
I have it and it didn't cause pain until after I had my daughter in my early 40s. I have pain between my shoulders and my lower back because my alignment is all out of whack and I live an active lifestyle. I have a farm and horses and I struggle to do my chores. I wear orthotics, I do yoga, inversion table, chiro, physical therapy and acupuncture. Wish I could fix this.
I'm completely sure I have this. I have noticeably uneven hip and waist that's been around for over a year and can feel my rib hump a bit :(. Parents NEVER take me to the doctor for anything, so what if this gets worse?
Yes! Go see a doctor please!!! It's so important because it could get worse. Please, please speak to your parents about this. If you don't do anything, it could get worse, but if you get treatment, it may get a little better and prevent it from getting worse.
I am diagnosed with scoliosis for 3 years now(I'm 15). My dad never lets me see my back and never takes me to a doctor despite me asking him to. i don't know how bad my curve is or what shape it is but my shoulders have a 3sm height difference now.
I think you really need to take an X-ray. I was diagnosed 3 years ago too. I'm 16 now.🥰I was diagnosed with 40 degrees, and my doctor said if I didn't discover that, I would probably need surgery and be suspended from school. ThankGod, my mom noticed that there was a rehab center from Germany that had braces for patients to wear. I mean you should pay some attention for this:)
It should have been mentioned, that the reason of scoliosis is due to muscular imbalance. Shortly speaking there are hundreds of muscles holding your spine and if a muscle on one side is less/more flexible than the same muscle located on opposite side, you get a curved spine (it is like one muscle is pulling your spine the way too strong and thus logically the spine isn't straight anymore)

I’m 13, and I just had an X-ray and I’m about to find out if I have scoliosis in a day or two. My chiropractor says I have some signs of scoliosis but he says it nth that can’t be cured. I’m ok with all this
yall i have a brace and i want to heal so bad but its uncomfy to me i like to sleep a good type of way like without any problems im always like why me but hey only options i have is praying or getting surgery. BTW DO THEY PUT U TO SLEEP DURING SURGERY??
I have had scoliosis since I was 6, and now I’m 13, 5 back braces in, and I really can’t have surgery cuz I have arthritis too, so that would doubly my recovery time. And I could probably never play soccer again. It’s just so flipping hard to wear it, it’s uncomfortable after long times, you can see it under my shirt, if I raise my hands or sit down. So I almost never wanna wear it in public, and at home I’m always bending down, or doing something or just forget to put it on. Im just extremely scared for surgery, and I’m starting to get close. I don’t think I would really ever recover, knowing that all the work that little me did, was all a waste. Im sorry but I literally type “scoliosis” just to find a video to rant on, so thanks for reading ❤️🩹

Hey so i am 15 years old and i have a mild curve of about 11 to 20 degree and i feel no pain or uncomfortable at all. Should i still go and diagnose it? I don't want to...i am really afraid that it wud be costly cause my family's not doing quite well now. What shall i do?
Idk if I have it and I’m scared of I do, bc I feel like when I’m walking squint or it’s just in my head, is there anyway I could straighten my spin at home if I do have it bc I don’t wanna involve a doctor bc I’m to scared to
Please, please consult a doctor!!! It's so important because it could get worse if you don't do anything. This happened to me and I only found out I had scoliosis a bit late. However, after getting treatment, my scoliosis is better!
My curve was around 40 degrees but now it's 20. Wow. The brace isn't designed to straighten, but it did it alright.
How old are you when you start wearing the brace? Thanks.
I've had Ideopathic Scoliosis for 35 years. Diagnosed around 10 or 11 years old.
My thoughts now on the cause lean towards a problem with the gut microbiome absorption of nutrients and the consequent effects being there are hormonal imbalances leading to a deformity in growth. Kids with hip dysplasia also may have these imbalances. It can run in families because others may have this inability to absorb nutrients adequately as well. Constipation might be a symptom of scoliosis worth looking into.
Scoliosis does hurt, I dunno why this video says it doesn't. Also, any amount of torsion on your ribcage can affect your heart and lung capacity. I can't handle endurance sports. I have trouble standing for a long time and it is particularly painful around the time of menstruation. Hip and knee issues as also a result of being out of alignment.
Best advice: (I opted to not get surgery and used a night brace instead while still growing) keep very flexible, stay fit because any extra weight is so painful on joints even the 10 lbs of covid weight I gained, exercise hips legs and pelvis. Look into Scroth method of exercise to strengthen the parts of your curves that are hard to stretch properly. I have a lot of trouble with core strengthening exercises because it throws my back into spasms. Be conscious of your posture, neck and head back not forward, butt tucked under to engage abs. Chiropractic was not much relief for me but you might have better results.
What I do
ik the vid is old now but I wanted to share my story I got diginosted with scoliosis when I was 10 nearly 11 I got a brace a few months later I'm 11 now and getting my X-ray in a week to find out if my brace worked if it didn't il get surgery like my sis who had surgery a year ago. I hope i dont get it bc then my gymnastics corriere will be dont for ! idk how much longer il have the brace too and I'm very scared i hate it too its uncomfortable and weird I'm insecure to show it to my class too (also my curve is 25 rn a few months ago il find our what is is now soon and try tell u )

Your doctor should tell you after you get x-ray.

Everyone who I ask: *Well yes, but actually no*
I would not be able to tolerate the surgery pain as I am really sensitive to pain 😞

I have mild scoliosis but have a lot of back pain does it mean the curve getting worse???
Paulina L hopefully not... 💓
I have scoliosis and my curve was like a c but I had surgery when I was 9 and now I’m 26 and I have back pain
I just got diagnosed with it, and I have to go in for an X-ray next week to figure out how bad it is- note, I’m only 13. I don’t know much about scoliosis, so if anyone has any advice...
Hey, how are you doing now? Hope you’re feeling well.
Hello! I found out I had scoliosis at your age. Personally, my doctor told me that this condition could result from bad posture or genetics. At your age, you're still growing, so it is possible for the curve to get better or worse until your bones stop growing. Personally, I got a back brace, which helped me A LOT. Also, you might want to talk to your parents about schroth physiotherapy. I did it for 3 years and my curve got better. With the back brace and schroth physiotherapy, my curve went from 26-27 degrees to 20-21 degrees in 3 years. I also have an ergonomic chair, which helps me sit long hours without my back feeling uncomfortable and helps with my sitting posture.
Is there a difference between having it from birth (or childhood) and having it due to an injury?
I for exemple had an injury to my back and pelvis causing a noticable pelvic tilt and mild scoliosis. I have pain in shoulder back hip knee ankle and even a little bit in elbows. I also have pain in my trapezius muscle.
Is it normal that a mild scoliosis + pelvis tilt causes this pain? Cause what I'm hearing is mild scoliosis doesn't really cause pain
There is a different actually. Doctors need to decide how to do the surgery depend on your situation.
is this since birth or can you get it in the middle of your life??
I hace scoliosis and im hurt im scared plz send help

Hello sir, im a physical therapist from Turkey and i work with only scoliosis patients. i liked your youtube video What is scoliosis? I was wondering if I can edit this video (mostly text parts in Turkish and use on my instagram page) i can link the original page (Children's Hospital Colorado) to that. Waiting for your reply. Best Regards
Hi Ziya,
We’re glad you enjoyed this video. You’re welcome to share the link, but we ask that you do not edit or translate the video.
@@childrenscolo ty much for quick answer :) there will be no point sharing this as it is since they don't know english. ty tho i guess i will figure out something else.Have a nice day!
I have it and it didn't cause pain until after I had my daughter in my early 40s. I have pain between my shoulders and my lower back because my alignment is all out of whack and I live an active lifestyle. I have a farm and horses and I struggle to do my chores. I wear orthotics, I do yoga, inversion table, chiro, physical therapy and acupuncture. Wish I could fix this.
I have it and it’s not fun
My back Herts all the time my spine is about 30% crooked
I'm completely sure I have this. I have noticeably uneven hip and waist that's been around for over a year and can feel my rib hump a bit :(. Parents NEVER take me to the doctor for anything, so what if this gets worse?
Please!!! Go to the doctor as soon as possible!!!
Yes! Go see a doctor please!!! It's so important because it could get worse. Please, please speak to your parents about this. If you don't do anything, it could get worse, but if you get treatment, it may get a little better and prevent it from getting worse.
I have it
I am diagnosed with scoliosis for 3 years now(I'm 15). My dad never lets me see my back and never takes me to a doctor despite me asking him to. i don't know how bad my curve is or what shape it is but my shoulders have a 3sm height difference now.
I think you really need to take an X-ray. I was diagnosed 3 years ago too. I'm 16 now.🥰I was diagnosed with 40 degrees, and my doctor said if I didn't discover that, I would probably need surgery and be suspended from school. ThankGod, my mom noticed that there was a rehab center from Germany that had braces for patients to wear. I mean you should pay some attention for this:)
*them * it don't hurt
*me * YES IT DOES
I HAVE TO HAVE THERAPY
Its killing me everyday
1½ year back pain
I have scoliosis and I’m getting a brace soon I have random foot and back pains it’s not nice
Flying Fat Man yes get it 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️
i had a surgery for it
What degree is yours??
It should have been mentioned, that the reason of scoliosis is due to muscular imbalance. Shortly speaking there are hundreds of muscles holding your spine and if a muscle on one side is less/more flexible than the same muscle located on opposite side, you get a curved spine (it is like one muscle is pulling your spine the way too strong and thus logically the spine isn't straight anymore)
I just got diagnosed that i have it.. It just started im 47.. What the hell.!

I’m 3 years post op :) I was 98 degrees
HOLY........ Im at 82 I thought that was bad! I'm glad youre fine now!
How old are when u found out u have scoliosis? How many years tho did it take to cure it?
It does cause back pain
I’m 13, and I just had an X-ray and I’m about to find out if I have scoliosis in a day or two. My chiropractor says I have some signs of scoliosis but he says it nth that can’t be cured. I’m ok with all this
its been 2 years, what happened with the xrays? hoping you dont have scoliosis!
yall i have a brace and i want to heal so bad but its uncomfy to me i like to sleep a good type of way like without any problems im always like why me but hey only options i have is praying or getting surgery. BTW DO THEY PUT U TO SLEEP DURING SURGERY??
I have had scoliosis since I was 6, and now I’m 13, 5 back braces in, and I really can’t have surgery cuz I have arthritis too, so that would doubly my recovery time. And I could probably never play soccer again. It’s just so flipping hard to wear it, it’s uncomfortable after long times, you can see it under my shirt, if I raise my hands or sit down. So I almost never wanna wear it in public, and at home I’m always bending down, or doing something or just forget to put it on. Im just extremely scared for surgery, and I’m starting to get close. I don’t think I would really ever recover, knowing that all the work that little me did, was all a waste. Im sorry but I literally type “scoliosis” just to find a video to rant on, so thanks for reading ❤️🩹
I hate scoliosis. It really causes me back pain when I'm standing sitting or lying down until I get into the right position
I was tested yesterday by the spine program I have a 15 degree curve in my spine, my right shoulder blade is out of place and I have a hump back and yes I have back pain
