Item description

Scoliosis is a sideways curve in your backbone (or spine). Often, it shows up when you're a child or teenager.

The angle of the curve may be small, large, or somewhere in between. But anything that measures more than 10 degrees on an X-ray is considered scoliosis. Doctors may use the letters "C" and "S" to describe the curve.

Scoliosis Diagnosis
To check for scoliosis, your doctor might first ask you to bend over from the waist so they can see if your spine looks curved. Pediatricians often do this kind of exam on children.

If your back looks curved, they'll likely do an X-ray to see whether it's scoliosis. Your doctor might also do an MRI to rule out things like a tumor that could cause your spine to curve.
