Hello doctor,
I am a 30 year old male. I was diagnosed with minor scoliosis. I have attached my x-ray results. I would like to know how bad is that. I only get occasional pain after standing for too long or lifting heavy stuff. Can you tell how much the curvature is? Is this something I need to worry about? I am currently on physical therapy.

Hi doctor,
How much can you tell just by looking at the spine x-ray? I was told that it is minor scoliosis and need only physical therapy.

Hi doctor,
I have attached some more X-ray images. Kindly let me know about my condition.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I had gone through the reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). You have mild scoliosis, as mentioned in my previous answer. The L5 vertebra and SI (sacroiliac) joint appear normal.
Physical examination is required to rule out other spinal causes of scoliosis and to see whether the scoliosis is fixed or positional. If it is positional, then there are more chances of preventing the progression and early treatment.
Do you have any examination findings or other medical records with you? I cannot provide any further advice without more information about your condition.
