Question
i am 20 years old, and i have scoliosis. i notice one of my hips is higher than the other, based on my xrays (shown below).

my problem is, when im doing sports activities, my right leg/knee/foot hurts so much, i have to stop.

could i benefit from using a heel lift in one of my shoes, to improve my balance? if so, which shoe would need a heel lift, left or right?

here is my xray:

Answer
Daniel,

There is no evidence that a heel lift will improve or correct a scoliosis. My recommendation would be to consult an orthopedic surgeon for further recommendations. Possibly a referral to physical therapy for your right leg, knee, and foot might be helpful.

I hope this answers your question.
