Is scoliosis painful?

In children and teenagers, scoliosis is frequently painless and may only be noticed through postural changes. In adults, it can cause back pain, stiffness, and muscle fatigue — particularly with degenerative scoliosis or larger curves. Pain is rarely a feature of mild to moderate adolescent scoliosis.
