How many degrees of scoliosis can be seen

Scoliosis can be seen when it reaches 10 degrees. Scoliosis is usually caused by congenital development or related to poor posture. Slight scoliosis less than 10 degrees is usually not visible, and the body will have a certain degree of compensation, so no obvious abnormality will be found. If the scoliosis is greater than 10 degrees, abnormalities of the spine can be found at the back of the body, the pelvis is tilted, the shoulders are different in height, and the degree of scoliosis can be clarified by taking a standing X-ray. Scoliosis up to 20 degrees can be treated conservatively by changing poor posture and using planks or hanging bars, while scoliosis between 30 and 40 degrees requires orthopedic braces, and scoliosis over 40 degrees requires surgery with a spinal stapling system. When scoliosis is found, if the angle of scoliosis is more than 10 degrees, it is necessary to go to the spine surgery department of the hospital for further diagnosis.
