Genetics do play a very large part but - a lifestyle which includes drinking enough water daily to keep discs healthy and hydrated also plays a role.

Also, other genetic factors can play a role, such as having one leg longer than the other which instead of scoliosis, kept my hips uneven which took its toll on my spine. Perhaps if I drank enough water all my life it could have made a difference but no, I hardly drank anything all day - for years.

Who knows what may have been, it wasn't, that's all. But taking care of your spine should begin at an early age. Too bad our young aren't educated enough.
