A member asked:
Is a cobb angle of 5 degrees in a 13-year old cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A cobb angle of 5 degrees indicates very minor curvature of the spine. This can be followed up by x-ray but given her age it is very unlikely to progress to a clinically significant problem.
