Scoliosis

Remember the days when you would bend over in front of the nurse at school, [lift your tops up] and they would check everyone for scoliosis? Well, that doesn’t happen anymore.

​

NONE OF OUR KIDS GET CHECKED FOR SCOLIOSIS AT SCHOOL. 

At least none of the schools that our office has seen in Albury-Wodonga.

So, how do we know if our Albury Kids have scoliosis?

You don’t.

The only way to know is to have them checked. Unfortunately, we are now reaping what we have sowed:

• Children have almost finished developing when their scoliosis is detected making it incredibly difficult, sometimes impossible to correct;

• Children are being misdiagnosed when they see health professionals who don't assess for scoliosis when quite often the primary problem is scoliosis;

• Scoliosis is going undetected into late teens or adulthood leading to an array of disability, discomfort and displeasure.
