What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is identified when the spine curves more than ten degrees to the right or left while facing the examiner.  Advanced or extreme stages of scoliosis can result in serious health concerns.

We all remember the scoliosis tests in school, usually in gym class, having to bend over and reach for our ankles as the school nurse inspects the curvature of our spine.  The purpose of this early childhood test is that the early detection of scoliosis is treatable and in many cases, preventable from advancing.

How is Scoliosis Identified?In addition to assistance from school nurses, parents can often identify problems with the bend of the spine to one side or another, and uneven pairing of the shoulders and pelvis.  The best identification of scoliosis is through a proper examination by a Chiropractor.

Early examination by a Chiropractor will save years of preventable pain or discomfort from patients with scoliosis.  An Adams Position Test will most likely be used to identify scoliosis and x-rays may be also utilized to determine the extent or advancement of scoliosis.
