Checking For Scoliosis<\/h2>\n

Scoliosis in Kids is an abnormal sideways curve within the spine that, if not caught early, can worsen with age, cause significant back pain, and lead to arthritis in the spine.<\/p>\n

We want your children to grow healthy and strong, which is why it\u2019s important to know the signs of scoliosis and check your kids regularly from eight years old until the end of puberty<\/p>\n

\"Scoliosis\"<\/h4>\n

Simple At Home Check For Your Kids<\/h4>\n

Checking your child\u2019s spine for scoliosis may be possible to do at home or book in for a comphrensive Free Child Scoliosis Exam in our practice. If you\u2019re opting for the at-home method, try the following:<\/p>\n

1. Have your child bend over at the waist. Stand behind them and check the bump’s of the spine. These bumps should line up in a straight line with no side-ways deviation. Take note of the rib-cage on both sides. Is one side bulging more than the other? Either signs, may indicate a possible cause for concern.\u00a0 [check out this great video from the Boston Children’s Hospital –\u00a0ADAMS TEST<\/a>]<\/p>\n

2. Next, look at your child\u2019s back while they are standing and check for any of the following:\"Scoliois\"<\/p>\n

Is one shoulder higher than the other? Is one hip higher than the other? Does the spine look straight or curved? When standing our shoulder and hips should be level and our spine upright.<\/p>\n
