How can you find out if you have scoliosis?

Question

Because in my school they checked all the kids that had it and all they did was touch the spine. ?

Answer 1

if you have white stuff on your skin.

Answer 2

"scoliosis is a condition where a persons spine is curved from side to side. On an x-ray, the spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line."

they touch your spine to make sure that it is straight and that it's not curved...

Answer 3

    Typically,  there is a screening for it.  The nurse usually has you stand in front of her and then has you bend over to touch your toes.   They can usually visualize the spine fairly well.  It should be fairly linear and straight.   Abnormal curvatures can usually be detected and definite diagnosis can be made with a simple x-ray.  

Answer 4

If they touched your spine and told you that there was no curvature, you do not have scoliosis. Don't worry about it.
