Scoliosis Assessment
Scoliosis is a spinal deformity characterized by lateral deviation of the vertebrae and which can progress rapidly in childhood and in the early adolescence.
In these cases, surgical correction can be required.
Therefore, diagnosis must be made early. In most cases, the deformity is painless at first, going unnoticed, but with periodic evaluation, it becomes easier to detect scoliosis in its early stages.
Scoliosis can worsen very quickly!
Assessment

Adam's Test
Ask the person being evaluated to place their palms together, one against the other, and bending their body forward, as in the image above.
The test is positive if one side of the spine appears more prominent.
Column Observation
shoulder
uneven
scoliotic
curve
waist
uneven
Observe whether one shoulder is higher than the other, whether the muscles on both sides of the spine are similar or whether one side is more developed.
Also observe if the waist appears to have more curvature to one side.
Warning! A small percentage of scoliosis cases worsen over several months.
The most common mistake parents make is delaying taking their children to a specialist, thinking they have time to resolve the problem.
Keep your children out of this danger!
Remember to monitor the spine of children and adolescents every 6 months until they are 13 years old . Periodic evaluation and immediate treatment are essential to prevent the progression of scoliosis and consequently avoid the risk of corrective surgery.
Scoliosis Surgery
If signs of scoliosis are detected during the initial examination, seek out an orthopedic and physiotherapy service specializing in scoliosis immediately.
Early physiotherapy treatment is the best way to avoid corrective scoliosis surgery.
