Scoliosis
Today we are talking about scoliosis. Scoliosis is a weird one because I have a lot of people come into my office that say that they have been told they have scoliosis…and don’t. They have a slight curve in their spine. You must have over 15 degrees of curve in your spine for it to be called scoliosis. It’s kind of like body temperature. Body temp should be 98.6 but if you have a body temp of 98.7 you don’t say you have a fever. Even though it’s technically above normal, you don’t count it as a fever until it gets a little higher. So, with scoliosis it must be over 15 degrees of curve in the spine.
