Yes & No
I have scoliosis through heredity, from my dad's side of the family. Out of the three daughters I was the (un)lucky one whom had progressive C curvature.I did the brace thing for many years and then I progressed to Herrington Rod implant in 1984. I know that my grandmother had severe scoliosis until her death in her 90's. (She was one tough lady.) It as also slightly evident in my father, but he has always done morning back exercises to help his mild scoliosis. It is better safe than sorry. The sooner the diagnosis the better chance of non-surgical theraphy. I'm not a doctor, but if your concerned then talk to your doctor.
