I have two. 1. Your spine stops curving when you stop growing
2. It does not cause pain itself:)

  • You're 20% more likely to develop scoliosis if someone else in your family also has scoliosis.
  • In 80% of scoliosis cases, the cause is unknown-that's known as idiopathic scoliosis.
  • Scoliosis is usually painless.
  • Girls are at least four times as likely to develop scoliosis as boys?and doctors don't know why that is.
  • 96% of adolescents with scoliosis continue to play sports.
