๐งฌ Can scoliosis run in families?
Scoliosis can sometimes be seen in more than one family member, and family history is considered a risk factor. But there is currently no single โscoliosis geneโ known to explain its development.
What matters most is early detection. Scoliosis is progressive, and during growth spurts, curves can change quickly.
Look out for:
๐ Uneven shoulders
๐ Uneven hips
๐ Rib cage asymmetry
๐ Changes in posture
๐ Family history can matter โ but early action matters too.
