Symptom #4: One Hip Appears Larger
The hips form an important part of our anatomy. They help to provide support for the upper body, while also enabling flexibility of the legs through the joint at the hip. Usually, our hips are both the same size as each other, although women generally have larger hips than men do.
Many people with scoliosis, though, will find that one of their hips appears to be more prominent than the other. This is because the curvature of the spine can cause one side to stick out more than the other. Despite this, the hips themselves might still be the same size as each other.
