Hello, today I would like to talk about how people with scoliosis often think their low back pain is due to their spine. Because of this thought, one might not receive proper treatment, but in fact, low back pain can occur from various causes regardless of scoliosis. From now on, let us clear up misunderstandings about scoliosis and low back pain.
The causes of low back pain are diverse. While one might feel discomfort due to scoliosis, it is not necessarily solely because of it. Various factors unrelated to the spine can cause pain.
When muscles become stiff or tense, especially if the gluteal muscles are overworked or strained, low back pain can occur. In addition, digestive system issues such as the stomach, large intestine, and small intestine may cause low back pain. Problems with the bladder or uterus can lead to low back pain, and improper postures from sitting or standing for a long time can also cause low back pain.
Even if you have scoliosis, pain can be managed at INI Korean Medicine Clinic through treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chuna manual therapy. If treatment is carried out by diagnosing the overall balance of the body through one's gait, pain can be treated easily.
Can scoliosis patients not cure low back pain?
Achieving balance through exercise: The case of Usain Bolt
Even with scoliosis, it is possible to enjoy an active and healthy life. Usain Bolt, the world's greatest sprinter, also suffers from scoliosis. Nevertheless, by maintaining consistent exercise and bodily balance, he became an outstanding athlete.
The key to managing scoliosis and related discomfort is to maintain the body's balance. By exercising regularly and strengthening muscles, even those with scoliosis can achieve this balance and ultimately reduce pain and discomfort.
Even if you have scoliosis, please do not worry, and through consistent exercise, proper posture, and treatments received at INI Korean Medicine Clinic, I hope you manage pain and enjoy a healthy life.
