Could your child have scoliosis?

Check Your Children

Checking your child’s spine for scoliosis (scoliosis test Mataró) is possible at home and in our practice. If you choose the home method, do the following:

1. Have your child bend at the waist. Scoliosis test Mataró

Stand behind them and check the curve of the spine. This is called the Adam’s test for scoliosis. The back should have a gentle curve. Also, take a look at the rib cage on both sides while they lean forward. If you notice that the rib cage protrudes more on one side than the other, it may be a cause for concern.

2. Then, observe your child’s back while they are standing and check the following:

• Is one shoulder higher than the other? They should be level.
• Is one hip higher than the other? They should be level.
• Does the spine look straight or curved? Curving to the sides is a problem.

If you think you may be seeing signs of scoliosis in your child after the scoliosis test Mataró, we would love to help you. It is important to remember that early detection of scoliosis can often lead to preventing potential problems and achieving excellent results in its correction.
