A member asked:
All of my daughter's vertebrae in thoracic area and possibly some in cervical area protrude out. also her lower back curves in farther than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This maybe all normal due to body fat and/or physique. To settle the concern, have your pediatrician evaluate your scoliosis concerns. A consultation with a pediatric orthopedic physician may also alleviate any further anxieties about the curvatures you see. X-rays of the spine will capture objective data if necessary re: angles of the spine.
