Okay, so i made this thread before but didn't get any replies, sorry for posting again. Basically, my spine has a mild curve, I don't get back pain and its not really noticeable unless to a trained eye, well most anyway (one osteopath didn't even realize i had scoliosis). A spine doctor I went to see due to me being worried it will affect me said it is not a problem, it is mild and doesn't need treatment as he thinks I am done growing. will this be a problem during the medical, I heard they don't even check your spine for curves as it wouldn't affect you during boxing, they focus more on your hands eyes and brain is this true?
I don't know only ever boxed amateur and unlicensed heard pro exams arevery strict, blood testing for diseases, brain scan, they have to evaluate you sparring to see if they think you're good enough, check your eyes etc. Not heard anything about spine curves th
I doubt it would. If the doctor said it won't affect you I'd say that's pretty encouraging. Deakin got a license with a club foot.
What's club foot ? isn't that when you were born with your feet twisted or something? and no I can't straighten my spine out, i was just born like this, my brother have it and so do my mum but we both never have any back pains or anything. Don't they only look out for stuff which is dangerous, like brain tumours and cysts and stuff, its not like I'm gonna take a body shot and my spines gonna break because I have mild scoliosis haha!
Recent longitudinal studies reveal that the most common form of the condition, late-onset idiopathic scoliosis, is physiologically harmless and self-limiting even without treatment.-That's a quote off of wikipedia about idiopathic scoliosis (which is what I have in a mild case) Has anyone here been through the pro medicals with a board doctor?
