[quote=Anonymous]My middle child is 8. She is of average height (sligtely below average). She is thin, but sturdy and muscular. Most athletic girl in her class, and very good athlete. At her 7th birthday appointment, the pediatrician noted that one side of her back is higher than the other when she bends ti touch her feet. When looking at her straight, her spine, hips and shoulders are very straight. We took her to an orthopedic right away. He looked at her and said she is perfect and it’s just her position/the way she bends. We seemed a second opinion at Children and the orthopedist thought she loooked straight, but ordered an x ray. Though the X ray it seems she does have about a 6-10% bend in her spine. We repeated the x ray 9 months later and while in the x ray the spine looks straighter, the % was 8-10% (different doctor).

My husband has scoliosis (really bad), but it’s only a problem aesthetically. He is tall and thin (very different built from my DD that took after me).

Does anyone have any experience with something similar? Is it possible that it resolves on its own? [/quote]
