5. Does bad posture cause scoliosis?

In most cases, scoliosis is congenital or caused by neuromuscular conditions resulting in improper development of the vertebrae. However, bad posture can contribute to the progression of scoliosis and exacerbate its symptoms. This can lead to spinal misalignments and put pressure on the already curved spine in scoliosis patients.

6. Is bad posture permanent?

Bad posture isn’t permanent, but it can become a hard-to-break habit without proper care.

With chiropractic adjustments and the right approach, posture can be improved and further strain prevented through targeted exercises and simple lifestyle changes.
