These are the seven most common symptoms associated with scoliosis:

Postural change This implies a change in the overall body symmetry. Patients with this symptom show uneven shoulders, hips, rib arch, waist, arms, and legs. Sometimes ribs can be facing forward on one side of the body and back on the other side.

Lung function These patients often have lung impairment & shortness of breath. Patients often notice this symptom when doing some form of physical activity.

Body pain Often manifested with back, neck or leg pain. As a patient's curves progress it creates more compression on their spine that manifests as pain. This is especially true in adult scoliosis cases as their curves become larger, which affects the discs in their spine, causing them to herniate or bulge as they are more compressed over time. This also causes degeneration of the spine, which also leads to pain.

Trouble sleeping The asymmetry of the patient's spine and nerve compression makes it difficult for patients to find a comfortable position to sleep. Also, the lung impairment caused by an uneven spine would not allow patients to breathe properly and could manifest in trouble sleeping.

Digestive issues As a patient curve increases, it also decreases the length of the torso, reducing the space available for the digestive system to work properly. It can also affect the spine's nerve system, which decreases the ability of certain organs to work as they should, making scoliosis patients more prone to digestive issues.

Menstrual cycle issues For female patients, it is common for scoliosis to affect their menstrual cycle. Patients can experience irregular menstrual cycles due to compressed nerves of the spine. There could also be hormonal issues in scoliosis patients that could be affecting their menstrual cycle.

Balance issues Scoliosis patients experience a loss of orientation of where their body is in space in addition to the pressure of gravity in their body over time. This is due to the shift scoliosis causes in their body. Patients with this symptom seem clumsy, sometimes even appear disoriented, and with balance issues.

Every case of scoliosis is different, and not every patient will exhibit these symptoms, especially children, who often do not show any symptoms at all.

The best you can do is to be proactive and not allow the curve to progress and work to keep the curve as small as possible.
