You have been on quite a journey yourself! Scoliosis is not transmittable other than by genetics. My understanding is that the female gender is much more prone to develop scoliosis than males. Perhaps the pair of X X chromosomes is responsible in some way. Yes, scoliosis can develop as a result of polio depending on the severity as in my case. You can disregard the notion that a polio vaccine was the source of your scoliosis.
