Question:

If u have a curve in ur back'does that mean that u positively have scoliosis?

my friend's spine has a visible curve, but she is not sure that she actual has the disease, scoliosis. Do you think she shud get it checked for an xray, or is it minor? PLz give some other suggeswtions and preventions, thanx


Answers:

YES, she should have it checked out. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral (side to side) curvature of the spine. So, if the spine curves to one side or the other, yes, it is scoliosis. There are many degrees of scoliosis, though, so she may have a minor case. There are differnt conditions where the spine curves in or out too much. There's not really much you can do to prevent it. Puberty will escalate it, though, (I don't know how old she is) so if she can get treatment sooner, the better, so it can possibly be stopped from progressing.
