Symptoms of scoliosis are: (1) uneven shoulder and waist, (2) one shoulder blade higher than the other and (3) one hip higher than the other.

No, scoliosis is not a result of sitting in bad posture or with a slouch. However, sitting in a bad posture can cause postural scoliosis which can be reversed.

Some yoga poses can help to lengthen and realign the spine. Any yoga posture, which includes twisting of the spine should be avoided.

A mild case of scoliosis does not affect the growth or height of a child, but if left untreated, it may result in a large curvature and may affect the height of a child.

The treatment for scoliosis includes: (1) bracing: to prevent the curvature from being growing further in the growth years and (2) surgery of the spine when the curve is higher than 40 degrees.
