Unsolved seizures

My daughter is 11, she had 6 seizures when 3 from head trama, didn't take medication for 7 years, then 3 years ago has begun to have them again.
All tests come back positive and have gotten no answers for her siezures.
Now she has horriable posture(kind of humped back)she tends to have seizures if sitting to long, like road trips, tv watching...could her seizures be triggered from a pinched nerve in her spine?
Her Nerologist has yet to say anything, but my gut as a mother says it possible could very well be caused from her posture?
Can you tell me if it even is possible...worried and stressed out mom in Texas.

Hi, it is unlikely for pinched nerve to cause seizure but pain can provoke attack. As such posture is not responsible for precipitation of seizure.
