The National Self-Detection Program for Scoliosis 2019

Scoliosis in schoolgirls

Scoliosis (spinal curvature) is an important health problem for adolescent girls. Twenty five girls per thousand are at risk of developing a significant curve and three girls per thousand require active treatment (spinal brace or surgery). In the early stages the condition is most often asymptomatic so screening in the age range of 10 - 12 years is a sound preventative measure. When school screening was abandoned some years ago we introduced the National Self-Detection Program for Scoliosis as a practical alternative. Our policy on the matter is fully explained on our website.

The Fact Sheet can be accessed directly from the Scoliosis Australia home page at www.scoliosis-australia.org and provides information on how to self-assess for scoliosis.

The Scoliosis Australia website also contains comprehensive credible information about the symptoms and treatment of scoliosis. Our forum is a useful resource and offers a strong support base for adolescent patients with scoliosis and their parents. Healthcare professionals and other interested parties can discuss the Program in the forum.
