🚨 THIS IS WHY WE ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO GET THEIR KIDS’ SPINES CHECKED.
It started with a parent coming to our office as a patient.
After learning more about spinal health and what we evaluate, we encouraged him to have his child’s spine screened too.
To everyone’s surprise, the X-rays revealed significant scoliosis:
📐 ~38° thoracic curve
📐 ~60° lumbar curve
The child wasn’t brought in because of severe back pain. That’s the important part.
Scoliosis can progress during a child’s growing years without significant symptoms. Early detection matters, especially during growth spurts.
👀 Parents, watch for uneven shoulders or hips, rib prominence, leaning, or an uneven waistline.
With significant scoliosis like this, we refer and co-manage with the child’s pediatrician and/or pediatric orthopedic spine specialist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment options.
Chiropractic care can still play a supportive role for mobility, function and musculoskeletal symptoms, but we do not claim chiropractic adjustments will correct a curve of this magnitude.
Sometimes getting yourself checked leads to something even more important: getting your child checked early. ❤️
