As a parent, you want to make sure your child grows up healthy and strong. But when it comes to scoliosis, a spinal condition that often develops silently during childhood, many parents wonder: Should I have my child screened? The answer is yes, and here’s why. WHY SCOLIOSIS SCREENING MATTERS Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that, although we have seen cases as early as 3 years of age and long into adulthood, most commonly appears between the ages of 7 and 15. Because children grow so quickly during these years, scoliosis can progress rapidly if it isn’t detected early. The good news? When caught in its early stages, scoliosis can often be treated successfully without the need for invasive surgery. Screenings allow doctors to detect even subtle changes before they become more serious.

How to Spot the Signs and What You Can Do About It: Scoliosis—an abnormal sideways curve of the spine—is more common than many parents realize.

With non-invasive screening and personalized care, we help families avoid unnecessary bracing or surgery and take control of scoliosis before it gets worse.
