Here at LifeQuest Physical Medicine and Rehab, we are proud to offer spinal posture screening services. A straight spine is important for proper body movement and healthy organ function. The onset of significant spinal conditions generally occurs between the ages of 10 and 14 in adolescent development.
Screening of the spine may provide an opportunity to identify problems that might impact student health. For this reason, many schools facilitate this screening as part of a health physical, and at-risk students are highly encouraged to be rechecked yearly. Posture screening may generally include assessment for scoliosis (side to side curve), kyphosis (round back) and lordosis (sway back).
To schedule an appointment for spinal posture screening or for more information, call our office today at (480) 659-2000 (Chandler Office), (480) 597-9497 (Gilbert Office) or (480) 257-3177 (Queen Creek Office).
