Question
I had a accident and as a result, I endured bulging disc c6-c7, cervical spine in flexed position, pinched nerves in left arm from elbow, and ex rays saw levoscoliosis centered l4 level. Can Levoscoliosis come from the injuries I endured?

Answer
You MAY have, but chances are very small.  It's FAR more likely that the curve in your spine are due to puberty and how your bones were formed then, versus traumatically induced.  (although whose childhood WASN'T traumatic :) )

Thanks for your question!
