I think i have scoliosis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scoliosis: Hello. Many patients have the incidental finding of scoliosis on x-rays. Fortunately just because scoliosis may be seen, it does not mean that a patient will experience pain because of it. Most curves are mild. For those that are NOT mild, seeing a scoliosis spine specialist is in order to prevent other issues- especially to the lungs over time.
