Get screened now

 

As there is often no known cause for scoliosis, early detection is the best way to prevent curve progression. Shriners Hospitals for Children recommends routine scoliosis screenings for all children and adolescents.

Our SpineScreen app detects curves when the phone is moved along a child's back, giving parents a quick way to routinely monitor their child's spine.
