When it comes to scoliosis, adults and adolescents experience it very differently. Most adults seek treatment because pain becomes unbearable—caused by compression and curve progression over time. But for adolescents, pain is rarely the issue. Their bodies are still adapting as they grow, so even large curves might not cause discomfort. Instead, posture changes are often the first visible sign.
That’s why early management in adolescence is so important—it can help prevent future pain and spinal complications in adulthood.
