A scoliometer measures the curve of your spine in degrees. A reading of 0 degrees is a natural curve that shows no sign of scoliosis. Anything more than a 10-degree curve means you have scoliosis.

Have you ever wondered what to do with that scoliometer you came across randomly in clinic? Well, it's time to dust that thing off and put it to use.
