Scoliosis check

Of every 1,000 children, three to five develop spinal curves that are considered large enough to need treatment. Scoliosis can be detected by uneven shoulder height, loss of structural balance, a change in posture or unequal leg length. Here is a quick test you can perform on children of any age.

#1- Have the child lie face down on a bed with their feet hanging off the edge. The legs should be kept together with their arms resting at their side.

#2- During the test, their head must be facing straight down. Check to see if one leg appears shorter.

#3- Test further by bending their legs up at the knees and compare again. A short or contracted leg is a common condition that can lead to scoliosis related problems.
