Are you allowed to keep your bra, shirt & pants on during scoliosis screening?

Question

I am getting a scolisis screening (Test) just to see if i have it or not and i wanted to know if i am allowed to keep my bra, shirt and pants on...and also the last time i went my doctor said my hips were a little uneven, does that affect much?

Answer 1

They generally want to see your spine, but you should be able to leave your bra on.

My hips are uneven because one of my legs is about a 1/2 inch shorter than the other one, that causes my spine to curve a bit, and gives me some nasty muscle imbalances that cause really bad headaches.  It's good to catch it early so you can prevent the muscle imbalances with shoe inserts etc,

Answer 2

you get to keep your clothes on. they stand behind you and look at how you stand bent over. Maybe even feel along your spine to feel for any crookedness.

Answer 3

your bra & pants yes, ur shirt, no.

Answer 4

Are you talking about at school or in a doctor's office?

At school you'll stay dressed.  At a doctor's office, it depends on the practice, but usually you'll be in a gown, bra and panties.  

Uneven hips can be a sign of scoliosis.  This is why your doctor will be looking at your body symmetry.

Answer 5

You can keep your clothes on, but they might lift up your shirt a little, but not enough to see the bra.

Answer 6

yes you can they just left up all your clothes so they can see your back.

Answer 7

Yes, you can keep your clothes on.

When I was tested, I could keep my clothes on and the nurse ran her fingers down my spine.
