How do i know if i have scoliosis?

Scoliosis: Scoliosis can usually be identified on physical examination. If examination is not confirmatory, a scoliosis x-ray will diagnosis the situation. Contact your primary care physician.

Xrays: In many cases, the findings on a patient with even a large scoliosis curve can be subtle. This is in part why schools will screen for scoliosis. The most common findings are an asymmetry in the hips and pelvis, an elevation of one shoulder, and a rib hump, otherwise known as an asymmetric trunk rotation. An xray is the definitive test.
