How can I tell if I have scoliosis?

Please Help Me

I think I might have scoliosis. I told my mom I have problems siting up straight. She said it’s okay. I don’t know how to check myself either. Also I can’t drive so I can’t go to the doctor to get checked. I also have problems standing up straight. Please answer my question.

you should see your doctor. tell your mom your worried and have her make you an appointment because even if its not scoliosis it could still be something

Answer #3

It could be any number of things, including scoliosis. The best thing would be to get checked out by a doctor whenever you can. Ask your mom or a relative to take you or just mention it to your doctor the next time you’re at the doctors for a yearly check-up. In the meantime check out: http://www.iscoliosis.com/articles-exercise.html for some great information including exercises that may help your discomfort if you do have scoliosis.
