Question

Imagine yourself as a baseball pitcher, a football quarterback, a mail carrier with a heavy pouch, a golfer, a tennis player, or any person who participates in an activity that requires use of the musculature on one side of the body more than the other. What type of abnormal curvature of the spine might such an activity develop?

Answer 1

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves to the side, often resulting in an S or C shape.

Repetitive use of muscles on one side of the body can cause scoliosis to develop over time.
