Early examination of scoliosis in children

Scoliosis is like any other disease: the sooner you discover it, the greater your chances of treating it. As you get older, your spine gets stiffer and stiffer. Therefore, the sooner a person is diagnosed with scoliosis, the sooner they can start a proper treatment process to control, or even reverse, the effects of scoliosis.

The diagnosis of scoliosis is easy, but it is very difficult to detect and identify scoliosis in time before diagnosis. In fact, scoliosis is often neglected for many years in young patients. Many cases are not detected until the patient reaches puberty and the curvature becomes more apparent.

Fortunately, there are some symptoms and signs that parents, teachers and other adults can notice in young patients. These symptoms can help us identify and judge scoliosis at an early stage, which is the easiest to control.

Early signs of scoliosis in children

The first warning sign of scoliosis in children is a family history. This is a point that doctors should pay special attention to. Studies have shown that if other members of a family already have scoliosis, the child has a 30% chance of developing scoliosis. If there is a family history in the family, special attention should be paid to the children of these families and the following signals should be observed:

Visual signs of scoliosis

There are many visual signs that may indicate scoliosis. Unbalanced posture may be the most obvious, but there are many other visual signs that a child may suffer from scoliosis: one hip is more pronounced, one shoulder blade is more prominent, one leg looks shorter than the other, or the body tilts to one side.

Parents may also notice that their children's clothes don't fit well. For example, a shirt may appear to hang unevenly on a child, or the collar may be off center. If the child's posture is unbalanced, this may be a sign that your child has scoliosis, which is of course a reason why you should take the child to see a doctor.

Part of the reason scoliosis is difficult to diagnose is that its symptoms, especially in the early stages, are very mild. Unless scoliosis becomes very serious, patients rarely experience chronic back pain due to scoliosis. However, although this is rare, any unexplained persistent back pain in growing children may be a sign of scoliosis.

Finally, any excessive fatigue after sitting or standing for a long time may also be a symptom of scoliosis. When scoliosis occurs, the back muscles must work harder than usual to maintain balance and therefore feel fatigued more quickly.

Take action

In the early stages of scoliosis, there are usually few obvious symptoms. These symptoms may be difficult to identify, but early identification of scoliosis will not have too many adverse effects on children's health and growth. If scoliosis is correctly diagnosed and treated early, your child's lifestyle and habits should not change much. As long as they work with professional spine specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan, they will not have serious complications (such as chronic back pain), they will still be able to engage in their favorite sports and activities.

The sooner you start treatment, the sooner your child can return to normal life.
