My shoulders are uneven
I am 18 years old, male, 5 foot 8 inches tall and recently noticed that one of my shoulders sits nocibly lower (about an inch or so) than the other and further forward. Then when running a hand down my spine it can be felt that the spine bends slightly between the shoulder blades.
Should i seek professional medical help?
