I am a bit confused.
For almost 4 years my boys were seeing a doctor who always took xrays with the boys in there braces. So the outcome were curves in the 20 to 30 degree range.
Recently, due to the unexpected death of our doctor, we were foced to find a new doctor.
The new doctor takes xrays with the braces off. Additionally, his style of measuring the curves are a bit different. Instead of drawing an line through multiple spine segments, he draws a line tangent to the most displaced spine segment. So now the boys curves are in the 40 to 50 degree range.
How do others doctors out there measure curves ?
