Scoliosis can run in families. Here is why that matters for your child.
Research shows that more than half of people diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis have at least one relative who also has it. Studies suggest that having a family history may be linked to larger curves at diagnosis. Scoliosis does not always announce itself early, which is exactly why children with a family history benefit from being screened before puberty begins, when curves are still small and more options are available.
If scoliosis is part of your family's story, an assessment is a simple and important step. Book one today by calling our clinic or visiting our website.
