I don't think a Dexa scan can show Scoliosis. It is used to show bone density. I think you would need a spine x-ray.

Hi @bethyh79
It can show it just not as extensively as the X-rays. Both my gyn and my primary doctor could see it. It is not very excessive at this point. I think my gyn just wanted to make sure I was aware of it and could begin my journey of better self-care. As many of the folks on this site know, it doesn’t get better as time goes by unless we get active to slow the progression. Thanks for your input. Blessings to you.
