A member asked:

Would 21 degree scoliosis increase after pregnancy, in 20 years old girl.

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Usually no: Idiopathic scoliotic curves of less than 30 degrees after skeletal maturity have very little chance of progressing (getting bigger).

Dr Ben-Yishay agreed

VERY RARELY!: 21 degree curve is very mild, almost never progresses in a mature adult.
