Are herniated discs a result of scoliosis?

Herniated discs are not usually caused by scoliosis, but they can occur in people with scoliosis. Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves to the side, and it can affect the discs in the spine. Some cases of scoliosis can lead to herniated discs where the disc material squeezes out of a tear in the tough exterior of the disc. While herniated discs are not a direct result of scoliosis, they can be caused by the changes in the spine's structure that scoliosis can cause.
