Scoliosis is a progressive disease causing curvature of the spine. It can affect people of all ages; not only children and adolescents, but also adults. Scoliosis can result in headaches, shortness of breath, back pain, digestive problems, menstrual-cycle disturbances, leg, hip and knee pain, chronic fatigue and future spinal kyphosis (widow's hump). The majority of Scoliosis cases do not require surgical treatment, which can be debilitating both physically and emotionally, especially for an adolescent. Early scoliosis treatment and proper screening is important for a good outcome. Our scoliosis treatment method does not require the use of braces for scoliosis correction.

Besides looking at X-rays, one can look at his or her posture in order to look for possible signs of scoliosis.

Signs that may indicate scoliosis are:

* Head not centered to the body Uneven shoulders (either one is in front of the other or one's higher than the other)

* Uneven shoulder blades: one is more prominent or higher

* Uneven waist angle: the gap between arm to trunk is wider on one side

* One hip is more prominent than the other or the hips are not leveled

* The spine line is not straight

You can also perform a Forward Bend test (also called "Adam's test") to detect for possible scoliosis.

* Standing with the feet together, then bend forward as far as you can with your palms together, fingers pointing at between your toes.

* Look at the back, one side of the back (either upper or lower back region) will be higher than the other side
