  • Which shoulder is higher in scoliosis?

    Thank you for your question. I regards to which shoulder would be higher in scoliosis the answer is dependent upon which direction the scoliosis deviates.

However, if the convex is to the left side the corresponding left shoulder would be higher. So, in answer to your question the higher shoulder depends on which way the scoliosis laterally deviates.
