Left Shoulder Lower Than Right

So I'm a righty, and my left shoulder is significanly lower than my right, and less developed (maybe about an inch lower). Never noticed it until I started working out at the dumbbell rack in front of the mirror.

I know that no one is asymmetrical, BUT I'm still concerned about developing unevenly and *opening myself up to injury*. I notice this the most doing a barbell curl on the EZ bar. In this case specifically, I can't avoid my right shoulder lifting up while my left stays relatively level. Huge differences in strength (otherwise form and approach is correct).

Any feedback?

    You may already have a shoulder problem that just is not causing you pain. A good massage therapist can help this.

    Have you had a doctor check for scoliosis? I would definitely get that checked out, since it could get worse if left untreated.

    Yeah my spine is straight. The EZ curl is the wierdest thing though, everything else is consistent.
