Orthopaedic Surgeon Questions Scoliosis

Can scoliosis cause muscle spasms?

I've been wearing a brace for my scoliosis for about a few months, and I noticed that I've been experiencing muscle spams as well. Could this be related to my scoliosis?

It could be that your back muscles are fighting the brace and you’ve developed some spasm. They should gradually go away but if it doesn’t please get it checked out.
Scoliosis can cause muscle spasms on rare occasions, usually associated with curve progression. You should check in with your physician for further evaluation in this case.
Good luck!
