Understanding Scoliosis in Children and Teens

from Little Health: A Cleveland Clinic Children’s Podcast · host Cleveland Clinic Children’s

Scoliosis is more common than many parents realize, and it isn't caused by heavy backpacks or poor posture as many once thought. This episode explains why your child’s puberty growth spurt is the most important window for treatment and how a simple "forward bend test" at home can help you spot red flags early. Learn how modern bracing and innovative surgeries are helping kids stay active in sports while avoiding major procedures down the road.
