Mild dorsal dextroscoliosis is a type of scoliosis (curving of the spine that is not within a normal range). Dextro- means right, and dorsal means back (or upper, but here it means back), so dorsal dextroscoliosis means that your spine curves to the right somewhere near the back of your spine (the knobby part that you can feel when you bend over and touch the middle of your back). Mild, of course, means that the curving is not very serious.
The "dextro" part of the word means to the right, and "scoliosis" means a curvature of the spine. So dextroscoliosis means that your spine curves to the right more than "normal". Slight, of course, means that it is only a small curvature.
Scoliosis can begin before birth, but it can also be caused by bad posture when you are growing up, poor muscle strength on one side, or damage to the spine. I also have slight dextroscoliosis and in my case it is caused by a degenerated disk between the bones of my lower (lumbar) spine.
People with mild scoliosis may feel no symptoms at all, but common symptoms associated with scoliosis include Back pain, difficulty breathing, and in extreme cases damage to internal organs. Since your case is slight, you will probably not experience most of these things.
If you are still growing, you may receive intervention therapy (usually a back brace) to prevent further deformation of your spine. If you are an adult, physical therapy or chiropractics may be useful therapy for any symptoms you may feel. Your condition should be monitored by a doctor.

What is mild thoracic dextroscolisis?
Mild thoracic dextroscoliosis refers to a slight curvature of the spine to the right in the thoracic (middle) region. It is considered mild when the angle of curvature is less than 20 degrees. Treatment options may include physical therapy, regular monitoring, and sometimes bracing.
What does mild dextroscoliosis may be positional?
To answer this, it would be easiest to break the word dextroscoliosis into its parts. Dextro comes from the Latin word for "right", and scoliosis is curvature of the spine. Given this information, mild dextroscoliosis refers to a minor curvature of the spine toward the right side of the body.
What is mild convex thoracic scoliosis?
A mild convex right thoracic scoliosis is when the spine is curved toward the right. It can be seen on an x-ray of the spine.
What is mild degenerative changes in the thoracic spine?
curveture in the thoratic spine
What is mild convex right thoracic scoliosis?
A mild convex right thoracic scoliosis is when the spine is curved toward the right. It can be seen on an x-ray of the spine.
What is mild thoracic scoliosis?
Well, scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. The cervicothoracic part deals with the location of the curve. The cervical region is the neck, and the thoracic is the upper back. So the cervicothoracic scoliosis would be a curvature of the spine in the neck/upper back
What is mild levocurvature of the thoracic spine?
left leaning curvature
What is mild levoconvex scoliosis in the thoracic spine measuring 10 degrees?
It is mild. It might look somthing like this - /
Why would the muscles on one side of the spine be more developed than the other side?
Unfortunately, I don't know the answer, but a physical therapist told me this is true of me. The muscles on the right side of my spine are more developed. I have a mild (approx. 12 degree Cobb angle) dextroscoliosis (bends to the right like a backwards C) of the cervical spine and levoscoliosis (bends to the left like a C) of the superior thoracic spine. One spine/pain MD told me the two might be related.
There is mild scoliosis of dorsal spine with convexity to left?
treatment for mild scoliosis of cervico dorsal spine with convexity towards left side
Where is the thoracic curve?
The thoracic curve is located in the middle part of the spine, specifically in the region corresponding to the chest or thorax. It consists of 12 vertebral segments that make up the upper and middle back.
What does it mean if you have mild thoracic scoliosis?
mild thoracic typically refers to a curvature 20 degrees or less on the Cobb angle measurement scale. Although this form of scoliosis can be mild, it may still cause pain and other symptoms. It is also possible for the curve to progress over time.
