Scoliosis is a medical condition in which the patient's spine becomes deviated, abnormally curved, and sometimes also rotated. It is a very complex condition, often becoming very painful for the sufferer.
Even though the causes of scoliosis are widely debated and believed to be multiple, there is a clear connection between patients with flat feet and the development of the disease.
When our feet are out of balance due to flat feet or hyperpronation, our entire kinetic chain suffers. There is abnormal motion and irregular tissue wear in the legs, hip, spine, and beyond (see about flat feet). While some patients will absorb most of the imbalance in areas like the knees and hips, eventually requiring knee or hip replacement surgery, some other patients will absorb the imbalance in their spines, eventually causing either bulged discs or spine deviations like scoliosis. The reason for this is that these areas act as "fuses" of our kinetic chain, absorbing the greater part of the body imbalance caused by flat feet.
When scoliosis occurs as a consequence of flat feet, the condition will only worsen until the foot structure is restored. There are various methods to treat scoliosis depending on the severity of the case, but for those patients with flat feet, the chances of any scoliosis treatment truly working is subject to correcting the source of the problem at the root level.
Scoliosis is serious and it should be treated by a specialist at the first sign. In patients with flat feet, a permanent foot solution like HyProCure is vital in stopping the progression of scoliosis and to sustain any further successful treatment of the disease.
