∙ 12y agoIt is highly unlikely thoracic scoliosis would be the result of a car accident or any other sudden injury.
Scoliosis is a condition that develops over a long period of time, often from birth, not from a sudden accident or injury.
It is described as primarily, up to 75 to 90 percent "idiopathic", meaning there is no known identifiable cause. Up to 15 percent are believed congenital, Means inherited genetic disorder and up to 10 percent are believed to be symptomatic or resulting from an existing associative neuromuscular disorder.
It's most likely that you have already had the condition for a very long period of time possibly since birth but as you described it as "mild". it was just never noticed before.
Mild Thoracic Scoliosis (slight curvature) generally presents no symptoms and requires no treatment. It is believed by some that up to 10 or 20 percent of the global population would show some slight scoliosis if everyone were checked for it.
AnswerThe answer is yes, as you may have had this as a kid but it was never noticed,A car accident can actually trigger this to become more noticeable or wake it up,
The trauma could trigger scoliosis and where it was having no effect could suddenly come to light,
