Question:
Where can I get my scoliosis x-ray looked at to obtain a degree of curve?
I have recently had a second x-ray to look at my thoracic scoliosis and was not given a degree of curve by the radiologist. He said that it is not needed! Is there somehow I can get the measurement another way? I am getting very frustrated with the way I am being dismissed by the medical profession.
Answers:
Ask your referring doctor or chiropractor to ask the radiologist via phone call or fax for the degree of scoliosis. It is actually very easy to get that number, so I am unsure why the radiologist refused. Patients are more easily refused than another medical professional.....unfortunate, but true. Best wishes.....
