How To Find Out What Type Of Scoliosis You Have

Do you suspect that you or your child may have scoliosis? Identifying scoliosis early is crucial to managing the condition and preventing it from worsening. In this video, we’ll walk you through two key methods to identify scoliosis: how to read your scoliosis X-rays and how to perform the at-home Adams Test. By learning how to recognize the signs of scoliosis curvature, spinal misalignment, and other common indicators, you can take the first step toward effective treatment.
Whether you're an adult with scoliosis or a parent of a teen, understanding your condition is essential. We’ll also show you how incorporating scoliosis exercises and scoliosis stretches from our Scoliosis Correction Protocol can help improve posture and reduce the progression of scoliosis. Identifying scoliosis is only the beginning - knowing how to manage it with the right exercises is key to long-term success.
How to Identify Scoliosis
1. Reading Your Scoliosis X-rays
A scoliosis X-ray is one of the most reliable ways to identify scoliosis and measure the degree of spinal curvature. In this video, we’ll explain what to look for when reviewing your X-rays, including:
The degree of spinal curvature (measured in degrees, known as the Cobb angle)
Spinal misalignment or unusual twisting
Uneven shoulders, hips, or waistlines
By understanding what your scoliosis X-ray shows, you can get a clearer picture of your scoliosis and what type of treatment may be necessary. The earlier scoliosis is detected through X-rays, the easier it is to take action with targeted scoliosis exercises that help prevent further curve progression.
2. Performing the At-Home Adams Test
If you don’t have access to X-rays, the Adams Test is a simple at-home method to check for scoliosis. The test involves bending forward at the waist while someone observes your spine from behind. Here’s what to look for:
Uneven shoulders or shoulder blades that protrude
A visible curve in the spine when bending forward
A rib hump or uneven ribcage on one side of the body
The Adams Test is a quick and effective way to spot potential signs of scoliosis. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s important to seek medical advice and start incorporating scoliosis exercises and stretches to help correct postural imbalances.
How Scoliosis Exercises Can Help
Once scoliosis is identified, the next step is taking action to prevent the curve from worsening. That’s where the Scoliosis Correction Protocol comes in. This protocol includes a variety of scoliosis exercises and stretches that target spinal misalignment, improve posture, and strengthen muscles that support the spine.
Scoliosis exercises are designed to:
Improve posture by strengthening the core, back, and muscles surrounding the spine
Correct muscle imbalances caused by the curvature
Increase flexibility through targeted scoliosis stretches that help lengthen tight muscles
Prevent curve progression by stabilizing the spine
Whether you're an adult with scoliosis or a teen, these scoliosis exercises can make a significant difference in managing the condition.
Why Early Detection Matters
Recognizing the early signs of scoliosis through X-rays or the Adams Test is the first step toward managing the condition effectively. Once scoliosis is identified, implementing a routine of scoliosis exercises and stretches can help reduce back pain, improve posture, and slow down or stop the progression of the spinal curve.
By taking control with the right knowledge and exercises, you can improve your spine health and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later on.
