Re: [Spinal Disorders Support] Coleen/scoliosis/paiin/thoughts

[Guest guest]

We took my son to a scoliosis specialist after a check at school revealed

scoliosis (from a chiropractor who wanted business). We were told that they

don't go by shoulders (they used to 20 years ago). They go by hips and specific

back x rays that measure the degree of curve.

It's most important when you are growing. With that said almost all adults have

some degree of curvature - less then 20 in an adult is not treated. So, if you

didn't have itas a kid it's probably not attributing BUT ask your doctor.
