10 Symptoms of Scoliosis

Symptom #5: One Shoulder Higher
The shoulder tends to be an area that is packed full of muscle. It needs to be because this is where we get a lot of our strength for lifting from, and we need to provide sufficient support to our arms. Each shoulder is just about identical to the other, even though one may be slightly larger than the other.
People with scoliosis, however, are likely to find that one shoulder is higher than the other due to the curvature of their spine. This can also make it difficult for them when it comes to lifting objects.
