No ; no: Scoli runs in families, women>males. Some are idiopathic, no known cause, some r due 2 structural abnormalities in the vertebrae. Starts early in pre teen and stops when growth is complete. It is a silent problem and visible on x-ray or physical exam. At 25 u r out of the woods 4 developing scoli, but 4 peace of mind, have a screening done by ur ortho guy.
