Scoliosis Patient Data
Clinical data compiled in a study of 500 patients with idiopathic scoliosis from around the country, and some from overseas, demonstrates how health maladies from which they suffer go beyond just their problem with curvature of the spine and touch upon all five body systems.
In the study patients were asked, aside from their scoliotic curvature what, if any, additional health conditions had been bothering them. Here are some of the more common maladies many shared.
Additional Health Conditions Detected By Patients
Mood swings
95%
Digestive problems
70%
Female patients having menstrual-cycle
disturbances
52%
Leg, hip and knee pain
45%
Back pain
