Does Your Child Have Scoliosis?

 

Scoliosis is a spinal disorder that occurs as a result of the spine bending to the right or left. It can be seen at any age, from newborn to advanced age. It is common in children between the ages of 10 and 15, and it is progressive in adolescence and girls.

 

 

How do you know if your child has Scoliosis?

 

Is there a difference in your child's shoulder and hip height? Have your child's shoulders shifted to the right or left over the hips, Is your child's waist curves equal on both sides? Are the vertebral ridges in a straight line when your child is brought forward? Does your child get a hump on one side of their spine or on their back when they lean forward?
