A member asked:

Is a cobb angle of 27 degrees a mild or the start of a moderate curve?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I Prefer Cobb Salad: Quote: "Identifying Cobb angle is important since it is often the first objective indicator of a scoliosis. A curve is considered to be scoliosis at a Cobb angle of 10º or more. Any increase greater than 5º or 10º is considered a change – the number varies among studies. Scoliosis is considered mild at 10º-24º, moderate at 25º-50º and severe at >50º." [scoliosis3dc.com]
