Scoliosis or Jaw Problem — Which Comes First? Here’s What We Think.
A viewer recently asked a great question:
“Do jaw problems cause scoliosis, or does scoliosis cause jaw problems?”
This video explores the possible link between the spine (especially scoliosis) and the jaw (TMJ) — and shares what we at Metro Physiotherapy Channel have observed in our clinical practice.
While more research is needed to establish a definite causal relationship, we discuss:
-
Why postural imbalance from scoliosis can contribute to jaw misalignment or tension
-
How jaw dysfunction (e.g. clenching or asymmetry) can affect head and neck posture, and possibly contribute to compensations in the spine
-
The importance of a whole-body assessment in understanding chronic pain and alignment issues
🎥 This video is a follow-up to our earlier discussion:
