Adult scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can occur at any age. In the United States, about 6-9 million of the population, or about 2-3%, have scoliosis. In one study that spanned two decades, about 40% of adult scoliosis patients experienced varied progressions of bone abnormality. While it is most commonly diagnosed in adolescents, it can also affect adults. Adult scoliosis may be caused by degenerative changes in the spine or by residual curvature from adolescent scoliosis. Symptoms of adult scoliosis may include back pain, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.
There is no cure for adult scoliosis, but there are treatments that can help ease symptoms and prevent the condition from getting worse.
Diet is an important part of managing adult scoliosis. Certain foods can help to reduce inflammation and pain, and some foods should be avoided. In this guide, you will learn which foods to eat and which to avoid, as well as sample recipes and a two-week meal plan.
