*Sweetie, Hontest to God, I used to help with scoliosis testing when my kids were in school!. When we did it, the person was taken behind a screen or into a room What happens is SO simple!. All that happens is you bend down low, like with your head to your knees!. Then the person testing you just puts their fingers on each side of your spine and runs their fingers down our spine!. They may also repeat this in a standing up position by you!. You shouldn't have to take off your bra!. They should be able to work around that tiny area that your bra (in the back) entails!.

No!. If you're overweight, there's not more of a chance to have it! Believe me, please!.

Posture has nothng to do with it!. It is the structure of your spinal column!. In fact, I DO have scoliosis and it is mild and has never interfered AT ALL with my life!. And, I'm in my 40's now!.

Weight and posture have NOTHING to do with getting or not getting scoliosis, honestly!. Please believe me!. Really, I DID help with the testing for that when my boys and my daughter were younger!. I'm not an expert but the things I'm saying are true and a fact!.

IF you have it, you're probably just fine and require nothing as treatment!. Like I told you, I have it and I've led a perfectly normal life and nothing is different about me!. In severe cases, you would have a brace to help straighten your spinal column!. BUT, if you were at that level, you would already know it 'cause you'd be having pain and other problems!. If you feel fine and nothing is different about you, I'm guessing that your test will come out just fine!. Or, they could say you have scoliosis but, it probably will be like what I have!.!.!.!.!. pretty much nothing at all !.!.!.!. just a slight curvature of the spine that reflects nothing on my lifestyle or how I look or how I feel!.

Good luck sweetie!. I just know you're worrying about nothing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine!. You don't have to take medication for it and you don't have to have surgery unless it is very severe, and I mean causing debilitating pain or difficulty breathing!. A lot of people have scoliosis and you wouldn't know it by looking at them!. Bad posture doesn't mean you have scoliosis!. A common symptom is back pain when standing for a long period of time!. It's a simple inspection of the spine to check for scoliosis so you don't need to take your bra off, and they won't do the exam in front of everyone!. It's nothing to worry about so don't lose any sleep over it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

hello i have it & my daughter does too!. i had it real bad & had surgery and not doing to well,daughter has it she wears a brace and doing very well at 13!. it has nothing to do with weight,and i'm sure you don't have it !.it's pasted down in the family most of the time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

whats thatWww@Answer-Health@Com

not having perfect posture does not mean scoliosis!. Scoliosis is more of a sideways kinda twisted sometimes curvature of the spine!. They do surgery if it's severe enough!. It tends to take off in early adolescence, especially around a growth spurt!. (my stepdaughter had it and it got really bad between the ages of 12-13 and she had to have the surgery at 13, she first started showing signs at about 10-11)

Last i remembered, you don't take your bra off!. And I don't think it has anything to do with weight, you'll have to look that one up!

You probably don't have it if nothing has been obvious, unless you have a mild case!. I've seen people with cases severe enough for surgery and it is obvious with them!.

Should work on that posture though! They make bras that help you to correct your posture and it will support you better and might help prevent back problems later on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
