most helpful answer there is no correlation between milk intake and the formation of scoliosis in adolescence. the nutrients in milk (calcium. phosphorus etc. ) are very important for bone health but not drinking milk would not cause scoliosis. many people are lacose-intolerant and do not ever drink milk and there rates of scoliosis are no higher. scoliosis can just happen. as a young woman she needs calcium for instance but there are other sources of this essential element in vegetables. of course she may not eat those either. give her that one-a-day vitamin but she may need an addional mineral supplement as well.
if you don't drink milk can that make you more likely to get scoliosis? . my daughter who is 13 years old has just been diagnosed with possible scoliosis. her spine is curved at 18 degrees. she has to go for a mri. is it possible she got this because she doesn't drink milk or didn't take any vitamin supplements. she is now on one a day as of march 2013.
