As many experts have suspected for decades, breakthroughs in scoliosis genetic testing (Scoliscore) and the scoliosis blood test have uncovered sequences of genetic code that leave an individual “genetically pre-disposed” to the development of severe idiopathic scoliosis. However, since the condition doesn’t appear until adolescence

Let's see how many we can list under these catagories and even add more catagories if appropriate.

Bio-mechanical
Forward head posture
Hip rotation
Sacral inclination

The spine is a complex organization of matter primarily consisting of bone, discs, ligaments, nerves, and muscles. When we view a spine from the side view(dimension one) it is a series of forward and backward curves creating a precise balance of head torso and pelvis centers of gravity, the front view (dimension two)
