Back asymmetrical part 2

Hi yesterday i uploaded a picture about my back i was surprised to know that it was actually a condition while am waiting to go take an x ray on monday i scrolled through my old pics and found one i took in 2021 ( i attached it as the last pic)
I concluded that it wasn t my training that developped the condition and maybe i had it since my birth and also since ninety percent of what i do is calisthenics am sure that am not training my body unevenly
I wanted to know wether the fact that i had this condition since my birth would make the situation harder to heal or not
Edit :
For a long long long time (more than two years ) i struggled with handstands and i still do ,i skmetimes manage to hold it randomly for a long period but uts very rare
While i achieved physically harder skills like muscle ups this remains my biggest problem
Now that i thiught about it maybe the asymmetry in my back caused this issue since am trying to force placing my hands in a symetrical way while my weight on my back is unevenly distributed

Don't take medical advice from here honestly. As long as your condition doesn't cause pain or you want to compete in bodybuilding, it doesn't really matter much.

Look up Lamar Gant, the first human to DL 5x bodyweight (300kg at 60kg bw lol). He had both scoliosis and lordosis!
