What Is Scoliosis?

As your son or daughter approaches age 10, you may notice a new part of his or her annual physical visit: a scoliosis screening. 

Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve in an S or C shape rather than remain a straight vertical spine.  And, it often times is noticeable between the ages of 9 and 16. Similar to other conditions, the earlier scoliosis is diagnosed, the better.

- Diaphragmatic breathing,
- Posture exercises for strength and endurance,
