Scoliosis- this is

Scoliosis- this is when your spine is a little bent.

I happen to have it about 23%

I have to get a brace.

Does anyone else on CB have Scoliosis?

back to the Down to Earth

I don't personally, but two of my cousins and one of my friends have it. What range is the "percent" for? Does 23% mean you have it a little?

It is how much your spine is bent.

I may have scoliosis, but I'm not sure.  I have only been to the chiropractor about three times, and my spine and neck have probably changed since then.   My neck is definitely flatter than it should be, and my shoulders are slumped, and I may have vague scoliosis, but I'm not sure. 

I have to ask my father to bring me to his chiropractor next time he goes...  He actually went today.  :)

Wow, that's bad that you have scoliosis.  I really don't know much about it, but I hope you are okay. :)  The brace will help...

I have it very slightly, or so the doctor said at my last physical.

I have heard of it and I do know what it is, but I do not have it. I hope that the brace helps you Choco and isn't uncomfortable, and all of you buggies with Scoliosis are in my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*
