Posted by Monica Aniston on Monday Mar 2, 2009 Under Children Health
Scoliosis is a spinal condition that can affect children, teenagers, and adults. Developing gradually, scoliosis is most often diagnosed between the ages of 10 and 14. Scoliosis is more common in girls than boys.
It is recommended that all children are tested for scoliosis on a regular basis. The disorder, scoliosis, is explained as an abnormal curving of the spine. A scoliosis test in the U.S. is done by a child removing his shirt and leaning forward.
