Once the leg length is equalized, even with a simple lift, the \u201cscoliosis\u201d just disappears. Similarly, if a person has chronic poor posture caused by habits and muscle imbalance, or they are suffering with a back injury, they may have a \u201cscoliosis\u201d. As soon as the problem is rectified the \u201cscoliosis\u201d disappears. These are all examples of functional or pseudo-scoliosis.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Functional scoliosis is not really a scoliosis at all.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When the source of a functional \u201cscoliosis\u201d is rectified, the scoliosis disappears.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A short leg, poor posture and back injuries can all mimic true scoliosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is tempting to claim that because a functional scoliosis disappears with treatment that the clinician has resolved \u201cscoliosis\u201d.\u00a0 True scoliosis is a spinal deformity that does not just resolve when an underlying cause is rectified.\u00a0 Care must be taken to differentiate true from functional scoliosis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_tablet hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 140px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_tablet clr \" style=\"height: 80px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_eqh cz_content_box_parent_fx fx_bob \"><div id=\"cz_40278\" class=\"cz_40278 cz_content_box clr wpb_animate_when_almost_visible bottom-to-top\"><div class=\"cz_box_front clr\"><div class=\"cz_box_front_inner clr \"><span><\/span><div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-9 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;]<div id=\"cz_67217\" class=\"cz_67217 cz_title clr cz_smart_fs cz_title_has_icon cz_title_pos_inline\"><div class=\"cz_title_content\"><i class=\"cz_title_icon_before fa fa-check\"><\/i><div class=\"cz_wpe_content\"><h3><span style=\"font-size: 32px;\">Correct the Curve<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d4d4d4;\">Call <a style=\"color: #97cc3c;\" href=\"tel:+19522590304\">952-259-0304<\/a> or click to get a FREE scoliosis consult &amp; exam!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;]<div class=\"cz_btn_center\"><div class=\"cz_104447_p\"><a id=\"cz_104447\" class=\"cz_104447 cz_btn cz_btn_txt_no_fx cz_btn_no_fx\" href=\"\/free-consultation-request\/\" title=\"Free Consultation Request in Edina MN\" aria-label=\"Free Consultation Request in Edina MN\"><span><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\"><\/i><strong>Schedule Consult Now!<\/strong><\/span><b class=\"cz_btn_onhover\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\"><\/i><strong>Schedule Consult Now!<\/strong><\/b><\/a><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_tablet hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 110px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_tablet clr  show_only_tablet\" style=\"height: 40px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 20px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/li-DvRhJ4d0&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Functional scoliosis is another important category to be aware &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2176,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2547"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3067,"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2547\/revisions\/3067"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scolitech.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
