I will be checking 6th grade girls for scoliosis in the the month of February. Letters have already gone home with students.
What is scoliosis?
It is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause permanent health problems if not diagnosed and corrected at an early age. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the easier it is to treat.
When are boys checked?
The boys will be checked in the 7th grade for this condition.
Thank you for allowing me to keep your children happy and healthy!
