Screening at early age is very important.
Early detection can lower the chance of requiring surgery!
How to screen at home:
- Body Levels. When looking at your child from behind, we are asking two questions: are the shoulders level? Is the pelvis level?
- In the same position, ask your child to bend forwards. When doing this, we are screening for an obvious hump or bump on one side.
