When looking at someone from the rear. Levoscoliosis is when the curve of the spine is to the left, therefore the spine is bending to the right. Dextroscoliosis is when the curve of the spine is to the right, therefore the spine is bending to the left.

Why would the muscles on one side of the spine be more developed than the other side?
Unfortunately, I don't know the answer, but a physical therapist told me this is true of me. The muscles on the right side of my spine are more developed. I have a mild (approx. 12 degree Cobb angle) dextroscoliosis (bends to the right like a backwards C) of the cervical spine and levoscoliosis (bends to the left like a C) of the superior thoracic spine. One spine/pain MD told me the two might be related.
Is it dangerous to have dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine and levoscoliosis of the lumbar spine?
Dangerous? Well... I had this about 15 years ago and I am still alive. 46 degree curve to the right for the lumbar and 18 degree curve to the left in thoracic. The Lumbar curve was eventually corrected with surgery/rods/screws. I'm still stuck with the upper curve, and have lots of muscle pain, nerve pain, headaches, back pain, fibromyalgia, and bad posture.... ya.... at least I'm alive and not dying though!
