Question: are you born with scoliosis or does it develop?
Answer: Congenital scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that babies are born with. Of the three main types of scoliosis, congenital scoliosis is the least common, affecting about 1 in 10,000 newborns. Congenital scoliosis occurs when the vertebrae do not form normally before a baby is born.
