Cause of it is usually twisted pelvis ie. ilium uplift/upslip ie. sacroiliac joint subluxation.
Here one example how it goes:

Here physical therapist Vicki Sims explanes same:

And she thinks almost all back pains (and many other symptoms too) are a result of sacroiliac upslip and the effect it causes to body biomechanics...

In many cases it can be corrected. The sooner the better.

Other possibility is atlas subluxation:

Many times they both exist and are the cause of scoliosis.

Unfortunately medical doctors don't much know about those...
