• Is my strange back shape due to scoliosis?

Could scoliosis be the reason my spine goes to the side a little bit?

It is a possible reason for a different appearance of the spine. Evaluation by a physician can help determine the cause.

Yes, it could be. Have a medical person have a look at your back. If there is any question, get an X-ray and see an orthopedic specialist.

Hope it helps!

It is very possible that scoliosis is the cause of your "strange back shape." You should be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon with full length spine X-rays to determine:

1. If you have scoliosis, and if so
2. How severe is it

The severity of the curve determines treatment.
