Vitamin D deficiency is fairly widespread whereas high-angle scoliosis is exquisitely rare in the general population. I heard a radio program on this a while ago about how deficient many people are for this vitamin. It was interesting enough to have the whole show on it.
My daughters had surgical level scoliosis and do not have a vitamin D deficiency. I do not have scoliosis and was put on a massive prescription dose for several weeks in order to get to a point where we can ramp it down to just one non-prescription dose a day.
I have never read of anyone suggest a relationship between the two but that doesn't rule it out. Sometimes folk just have more than one condition. They don't always have to be connected or part of the same underlying condition, even for something like Vitamin D that does play a part in bone metabolism if I recall correctly.
