A member asked:
Why would the spine near my lower back not be as lined up as the rest of my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your primary: Many things are possible. Your doctor can examine you and see if there is a deformity that may be abnormal. Muscle spasm and differences in the length of the legs can make it look crooked. Your doctor may suggest x-rays or examine by a spine specialist.
