Dr. Deborah Ungerleider answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Have her doctor: examine her. I'm not sure how old she is, but if she is going through puberty, and growing a lot, she could have scoliosis (a sideways curve of the spine) or her legs could be different lengths. A simple exam (and possibly an X-ray) will be able to diagnose the issue, if there is one.
