Back to School Physicals & Scoliosis Screening

It’s that time of year with back to school shopping, haircuts, and sports physicals. And let’s not forget your child’s spine health while we’re at it!

If a scoliosis screening isn’t already part of your child’s exam, ask for it. Routine screening usually begins at age 10 for girls, and 12 for boys. And remember, you know your child best: staying aware of any signs of asymmetry can help catch changes early.

Even if your own school days are long behind you, your spine still deserves attention. Many people don’t realize that scoliosis can continue to progress into adulthood, potentially progressing by up to one degree per year for more significant curves.

The good news is that you’re not stuck with worry or discomfort. Scoliosis-specific exercise and mindful posture work can help you feel stronger, stand taller, and move with more confidence.
