SCOLIOSIS AND FATIGUE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Many people with scoliosis feel tired daily. Learn why it happens and how posture, treatment, and habits can improve energy.

WHY FATIGUE HAPPENS

The spine curve forces muscles to work harder to support posture. This extra effort leads to fatigue during normal activities.

OVERWORKED MUSCLES

Scoliosis creates muscle imbalance. Some muscles get weak while others work harder, causing tension, pain, and fatigue.

BREATHING CHANGES

A curved spine can affect lung space and breathing. When oxygen intake drops, the body tires faster during physical tasks.

PAIN REDUCES ENERGY

Chronic back pain increases muscle tension and affects sleep, which leads to lower energy and ongoing fatigue.

MENTAL STRAIN

Scoliosis can impact confidence and mood. Stress and worry may increase fatigue and make daily tasks feel harder.

DAILY TASKS FEEL HARDER

Walking, standing, and lifting can require more effort because posture control takes extra energy.

BOOSTING ENERGY

Stretching, core strengthening, therapy, good posture, hydration, and better sleep can help reduce fatigue.

WHEN TO GET HELP

If fatigue affects daily life, talk to a specialist. Treatment can improve posture, reduce pain, and support better energy.
