One of the most common signs of scoliosis is a prominent shoulder blade, frequently the right one. One shoulder might also be higher, and the child seems to tilt to one side. One hip might seem higher than another. Eighty percent of cases have unknown causes, although it tends to run in families and affect more girls than boys. Source: National Scoliosis Foundation
Our aims The Scoliosis Association of Australia is an independent not for profit organisation and its aims are simple: --> to put people with scoliosis in touch with each other, if they so wish, for mutual support and to exchange experiences. All information is strictly confidential.
--> to provide information about scoliosis that sometimes is not available in busy hospital clinics;
--> to inform the general public about scoliosis and how to detect it early in children. |
