This simple screening may help you be the first to notice changes
in your child's spine.
To check for potential signs of scoliosis in your child, have them
disrobe and stand relaxed with arms at their sides. Here is what
to look for:
 |
 |
|
Is their head level and centered over their trunk?
|
Are their shoulders the same height?
|
 |
 |
|
Are their hips at the same level?
|
When bent forward with arms dropping down towards feet, is rib cage level on both sides?
|
If you answered NO to one or more of these questions, consult with
a scoliosis care professional for further evaluation.
