A member asked:
If i had a 7 degree curved spine at 17, will it get worse as i age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not significantly: You had what is called spinal assymetry. Scoliosis is defined as greater than or equal to 10 degree deviation. By 17 you were presumably skeletally mature. The chances of significant progression of a curve of that size in a skeletally mature person is very slim.
