Scoliosis in children
Speak with a medical adviser ↗Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine assessed in the context of a child’s growth. Many cases are monitored without surgery.
Speak with a medical adviser ↗When to seek an assessment
Uneven shoulders, waist or rib prominence can be a reason to seek a paediatric or orthopaedic assessment.
How assessment works
The clinician examines the child and may use an X-ray to measure the curve. Monitoring, bracing or surgery depends on the individual assessment.
