A member asked:
I have a 7 degree curvature of my spine in the lumbar region of my back. it's considered mild scoliosis but i'm constantly in pain, often severe. y?

Curve from pain: People can have a mild scoliosis or curve in their spine caused by the muscle spasms that cause pain. In that situation the spine turns toward the pain, since the muscles involved are shortened. Mild scoliosis in an adult is rarely a cause of pain. You should be looking to another source for its origin.
