Is scoliosis causing your sciatica?
People find out they have a curve, and it instantly becomes the explanation for everything. Usually
it is not that simple — and the good news is that it does not have to be fixed for your sciatica to
be broken.
Curves are common. Symptoms are not automatic.
Mild scoliosis is everywhere and mostly quiet for a lifetime. What it does do is make you
asymmetrical, and asymmetry means one side of your body ends up doing more work than the other. Add
years of sitting and a rough week, and the overworked side finally complains — often as sciatica.
You cannot straighten the curve. You can balance the load.
This is exactly the situation the 180° Method was built for. We are not trying to
re-engineer your spine. We are getting the side that quit doing its job back to work, so your painful
side is not carrying the whole building. That is available to you at 40 and at 75.
What to watch
- Rapidly progressing curve, especially in a teenager — get that assessed properly.
- Increasing weakness or numbness, not just pain — get examined.
- Pain that changes with position and load — mechanical, and very fixable.
Try the free 3-Day Sciatica Proof Lab and find out in three days whether your sciatica can be broken — instead of guessing for another six months.
