could you get disability for scoliosis?

Answer 1

Possible but try not to - Muscles can have knots (trigger points) that make them tight which in turn put pressure on nerves and other things causing pain.
Molasses - a couple of swigs or Bananas 1 or 2 - both contain magnesium and potassium for muscles.
Try working with the principles taught in The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with it

Answer 2

Depends on your severity. However, I've seen 70 year old lady with 74 degree curve leading relatively normal and productive life still working as correctional officer. I'd think you'd have to be very severe. It'd be up to the doctor who does disability evaluation and I can't see any reason why scoliosis would render someone to be disabled unless it was a source of constant severe pain. However, that has to be very well documented to prove. So...talk to your doctor.

Answer 3

In my experience, it would have to be impossible to perform any tasks.
Check with your insurance.

Government disability is hard to get. I was out of work for two years with a complex and severely dislocated shoulder which eventually needed a shoulder replacement and I still couldn't qualify for temp disability.

I am a massage therapist and couldn't work but I could have been a telemarketer so they denied me. Bastards!

Your scoliosis would have to be pretty severe I guess. I hope it's not.

You should consult an attorney specializing in disability and if they can help you, you can apply online. If you get denied, you have six months from the date of application to appeal.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Not necessarily. These things are done on a person-by-person basis.

Answer 5

yes if it prevents you from being able to work.
