Firstly you need to look for the following signs:
Uneven shoulders
Uneven waist
Elevated hips
Shoulder sticking out
Leaning to one side

If you can spot these signs then you must get to the Dr to determine the size of your curve, this would be done by x-ray or the Adam's forward bend test

Other factors can affect chest cage appearance, so it’s important to consider a range of possibilities.
