Do You Have Scoliosis?

Scoliosis often develops gradually and may not cause obvious pain in its early stages. Many individuals — both children and adults — are unaware they have scoliosis until postural changes or asymmetries become noticeable. Understanding the common signs of scoliosis can help determine whether a professional evaluation may be appropriate.

At CBP Precision Spine Center in Muscat, Oman, scoliosis assessments are designed to identify structural spinal changes early and guide appropriate next steps.

Common Signs and Postural Indicators of Scoliosis

Scoliosis affects spinal alignment and posture. You or your child may benefit from an evaluation if you notice one or more of the following:

Visible Postural Asymmetry

  • Uneven shoulders or shoulder height

  • One hip appearing higher than the other

  • Uneven waist or body contour

  • One shoulder blade protruding more prominently

Changes in Standing or Sitting Posture

  • Leaning consistently to one side

  • Head appearing shifted off-center over the pelvis

  • Difficulty maintaining upright posture for long periods

Rib or Back Prominence

When bending forward (such as tying shoes), one side of the rib cage or lower back may appear higher or more prominent — a common sign of spinal rotation associated with scoliosis.

Functional and Physical Symptoms That May Be Associated

While scoliosis does not always cause pain, some individuals may experience:

Back, neck, or shoulder discomfort

Reduced spinal flexibility

Postural strain during daily activities or sports

Symptoms may differ between children, adolescents, and adults and are not always proportional to curve size.

When Should You Seek a Scoliosis Evaluation?

You should consider a professional scoliosis assessment if:

  • Postural changes appear to be worsening

  • Asymmetry becomes more noticeable over time

  • There is a family history of scoliosis

  • A school screening or healthcare provider suggested further evaluation

  • Pain or functional limitations are affecting daily life

Early evaluation allows for appropriate monitoring and the consideration of non-surgical management options when indicated.

Scoliosis evaluation at CBP Precision Spine Center in Muscat may include:

  • Detailed clinical history

  • Postural and movement analysis

  • Range-of-motion assessment

  • Spinal imaging when clinically appropriate

These objective findings help determine whether scoliosis is present, the nature of the curve, and whether further care — such as monitoring, rehabilitation, or bracing — may be appropriate.

How Scoliosis Is Evaluated at CBP Precision Spine Center?

Next Steps if Scoliosis Is Identified

If scoliosis is confirmed, care recommendations are tailored to the individual and may include:

  • Ongoing monitoring

  • Postural and spinal rehabilitation using CBP principles

  • Consideration of evidence-based bracing options such as ScoliBrace® when indicated

  • Functional and movement-based support strategies

Not all scoliosis cases require the same approach. Evaluation helps determine the most appropriate course of action.
