Mild dextroscoliosis of the thoracic spine refers to a condition where the thoracic (upper/mid-back) spine is curved to the right side in a gentle manner. This curvature is measured using the Cobb angle on X-rays, with mild typically indicating an angle of less than 20 degrees. Dextroscoliosis specifically denotes a right-sided curvature, as opposed to levoscoliosis which would be a left-sided curvature. Treatment options may include physical therapy, bracing, or in severe cases, surgery.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.

The thoracic spine is from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. All the thoracic vertebrae - all 12 have ribs attached. The curve the thoracic spine has is called the thoracic curve, or kyphosis. It is normal to have a curve but if the curve is excessive or twists to the side it is abnormal. It can cause problems or if mild most people do not know it is there.
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.
