Hello,

Yes, scoliosis can cause pain in the ribs. Depending upon the curvature of the spine laterally there is change in the muscular system leading to tightness on one side and lengthening of muscles on the other side.

Doing regular exercise for the correction of scoliosis and postural correction is of utmost importance to avoid the scoliosis curvature to increase.

Exercise will include the breathing exercises, scoliosis correction, posture correction, core stability, and general aerobics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
