Genwrally, after : Taking a detailed history you would have your shoes and socks off with a back opening exam gown with your height being taken along witn your arm span if a scoliosis exam with observation of the back erect and then bent forward with range of motion assessed and tender regions with pelvis and legs/joints examined followed by a neurologic exam and what are called tension signs. Imaging may be done.
