By: Orchard Clinic Scoliosis shows in people as an abnormal sideways curve in their spine that makes an "S" or "C" shape and may cause back pain, stiffness and other related problems. It is more common in females and begins in childhood. For the parents out there, an easy screening exam for scoliosis called the Adam's Forward Bending Test can be readily performed as follows. Have the child bend forward at the hips as if they are trying to touch their toes. If you notice a prominence or hump where one side of their back is higher or lower then the other side then that is a positive Adam's Test. On confirmation of a positive test, take your child to a chiropractor and take an x-ray so the severity of the problem can be determined. Or for more information, Orchard Clinic is running regular scoliosis workshops including scoliosis screening. The next workshop is on Saturday 15th August 2009, 2:00pm. http://www.spinal.com.sg Chiropractic treatment can benefit people in many ways including sufferers of low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. # # # Singapores' Leading Osteopathic and Chiropractic Clinic conveniently located on Orchard Road.
