@thespinewhisperer: Early Detection of Scoliosis in Children: Why Physical Examination Matters. We discuss the critical importance of early physical examination for detecting scoliosis in children. We show how a 10-year-old patient was initially told he was normal by doctors, but through proper physical examination and the Adams test (touching toes), we identified a significant spinal curvature. We explain the warning signs including uneven shoulders, neck tightness, and asymmetrical bending. We emphasize that early detection is crucial because if left untreated, children will grow with the condition and may require surgery later in life. We also show the patient's remarkable improvement after treatment, demonstrating how he can now touch his toes without difficulty. #scoliosis #chiropractor #thespinewhisperer #riverside #chiropractic
