Do you have scoliosis? 6 signs to look for

How can you tell if you or your child has scoliosis?
Here are 6 signs to look for:
1. Uneven shoulders
2. Shoulderblade sticking out
3. Rib hump in forward bend
4. Uneven waist
5. One hip sticks out
6. One leg looks or feels longer

If you notice one or more of these in you or your child, consult with a healthcare professional.
Having one of these does not necessarily mean you have scoliosis, but is rather a flag to get it checked.

i’ve been trained in ballet since i was 6 and stopped 2 years ago or so.. i’ve always had good posture but a while ago i noticed that one side of my waist is slightly more curved and i just noticed that my left shoulder is like the slightest bit higher than the other, im being paranoid because that’s what i do best 🔥🔥 but is this just normal asymmetry in the body or could it be something else??
it’s not like i think its gonna be severe scoliosis or anything but i just fear it could get worse so im trying to be especially mindful of my posture since it might’ve declined when i left ballet

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day. And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath. But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

How much shorter does scoliosis make me look?

[Ryantrahannn]

I have a chance but it’s not severe. Thank god I don’t have scoliosis YET and hopefully I don’t get it as I age. It’s not severe it’s just my shoulder blade sticking out and my right collar bone hurts a little when U keep my shoulder down for too long but it’s fine! As long as I keep a good posture
