Scoliosis refers to a curvature of the spine that measures greater than 10 degrees. 

Screening for scoliosis includes a physical examination to assess the alignment of your child’s spine. Additionally, an assessment of your child’s pelvis and leg length is included in a scoliosis screen to help determine if your child does in fact have a spinal curvature. If it is suspected that the spine is curved, an x-ray may be ordered by the child’s family physician in order to determine the degree of the curvature to provide the best available treatment for their specific curvature. 

Scoliosis symptoms include: 

• Sideways curvature of >10° on an AP x-ray
• Uneven shoulder or hip height
• One shoulder blade appears more prominent than the other
• Differences in rib height and prominence between sides
• A prominence on one side of the back when bending forwards

Physiotherapy can be an important component of care of children with scoliosis. Therapy for scoliosis may include: 

• Postural work to prevent the child from “sitting into their curve”
• Spine strengthening to encourage symmetrical growth and maintain excellent posture
• Pain management
• Muscle imbalances
• Other orthopedics injuries that may occur due to asymmetry related to scoliosis
• Pre + post-operative strengthening
