Some spinal conditions, like scoliosis, are congenital, meaning you're born with them. These abnormalities in the vertebrae can affect posture, mobility and even nerve function over time.
While some people never experience symptoms, others may develop back pain, scoliosis, or neurological issues as they grow.
💡 The good news? Many congenital spinal conditions can be managed with targeted therapies, bracing or surgical correction when needed - especially when diagnosed early.
