When you consult a professional, you will be guided through a few examinations to ensure your spinal condition is diagnosed accurately.
- You will need to undergo a spinal X-ray from the sagittal (side) and coronal (front) views to confirm the curvature – it is recommended to take a full spine X-ray from neck to pelvis.
- After an X-ray exam, the medical professional will provide you with information regarding:
- Magnitude of the curvature (Cobb measure)
- Laterality of the curve
- Bone maturity
- Curve pattern
