Yes! If your back is out of place it can mess everything up. Arms, legs, feet, hips, etc. Going to the chiropractor regularly helps me the most with managing all of it

Scoliosis can, and does, cause problems in your entire body. If the spine is out of wack everything is out of wack. It just snowballs.

Absolutely. ALL of my joints ache constantly from being out of line. Our back is literally our body's backbone lol and it affects all of our body.

I feel so dumb that I've never considered my chronic hip/knee pain part of my scoliosis

I just chalked it up to dancing for 20 years, though that probably still has an effect

My leg nerves are tight (the ones that run down them and tingle when you stretch) my PT has me working on it.

Oh wow this was helpful. I have restless leg all the time and recently just started feeling circulation issues. Good to know it's from scoliosis.
