A member asked:
Is there a way for me to get an idea of what the degree of my spine is without going to a doctor?

Nope: Clinical exam using the adams forward bending test will show a hump that may be measured, but does not correlate with curve magnitude. It really takes an experienced eye to determine curve severity without xrays. Regardless, using your age listed, there would be nothing to do unless symptoms warranted regardless of the curve measurement.
