A member asked:
Last year my back was very straight. this year i have scoliosis. i played volleyball for 9 years. could this have caused it?

Unlikely: Sports don't cause scoliosis, and it would be very strange for you to all of a sudden develop scoliosis in 1 year. Many people have a mild degree and it doesn't affect them no How do you know you have scoliosis, and how severe is it? Has it been measured? Is it affecting you in any way? If you were recently told you had it, you may have had a mild degree of it in the past and just never noticed it
