A member asked:
What to do if i had an xray of my spine and the cobb angle is 45. is that something to be concerned with?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This would represent fairly severe scoliosis. At this angle, you may start to notice other issues, including compromise of the lung on the concave side of the spine. I would recommend seeing a physiatrist and ortho spine surgeon to discuss bracing and even need for surgery in the near future. Hope that helps and best of luck.
