Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the spine that causes a typically vertical line of the spine to bend laterally. When you view a person with a healthy spine from the front or back, the spine will appear straight. However, a person with scoliosis will have a spine that appears curved.
Up to 3% of Americans at age 16 have scoliosis. There are many different types and causes of scoliosis, including:
Most scoliosis curves are initially detected on school screening exams. Some clues that a child may have scoliosis include uneven shoulders, a prominent shoulder blade, uneven waist, or leaning to one side. Dr. Ford offers spinal screenings that can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. A thorough bone exam and an x-ray are used to diagnose the type of scoliosis, and to evaluate the magnitude of the curve. Children with mild scoliosis are monitored closely, usually with X-rays, to see if the curve is getting worse. In many cases, no treatment is necessary.
