@everyone The Cobb angle is the most commonly referenced measurement in scoliosis, but it’s often misunderstood. The Cobb angle measures the degree of spinal curvature seen on an X-ray. It helps classify scoliosis severity and track change over time. But it does not explain why a curve behaves the way it does, whether it will progress, or how someone will feel. Two people can have the same Cobb angle and very different experiences. One may remain stable with little discomfort. Another may progre

@everyone The Cobb angle is an important measurement, but it should never be the only factor guiding scoliosis treatment. Two patients with the same curve size can have very different risks for progression, pain, and functional decline. Risk-based scoliosis treatment looks beyond the angle to evaluate what actually drives change over time. This includes growth velocity, skeletal maturity, curve flexibility, neuromuscular control, posture stability, bone health, inflammation, and recovery capacit
