There's a backplate/wing on ebay that I'd like to bid on so I need an answer fast.

Is there a problem with using a backplate if you have mild scoliosis in the upper back?

thanks

I just looked on ebay and saw 2 SS backplates on there for sale. which one is it. I don't know the answer to your question, but persoanlly i wouldn't buy it on there, as netheir said what brand name they were, and if someone just made them at home, some of the dimensions could be off, like the holes, etc.
 
It's the Oxycheq 45# SS wing/BP setup. I'm 99.99% sure it's a Koplin.

Thats a nice set up and includes Scott's signature series wing. So far its going for a good price. Had i seen this a few months ago, me and you would have a bidding war going on ;) Its a great set up and you should have no problems with the backplate and your mild back condition. For a comparison here is the same set up at Chris site for 585.00 http://www.covci.com/catalog/produc...id=83&osCsid=6e50deaae81d9686b6650b6aca1adb60

Weel, you're the doc, but I would not see why a Bp would be any worse for your back than a jacket.
