SpineScreen 1.1

SpineScreen by Shriners Hospitals for Children® offers parents a convenient tool to monitor their child's spine for potential scoliosis indicators. This user-friendly app allows users to scan their child's spine with a smartphone, detecting any irregular curves.

Scoliosis, an abnormal spinal curvature, can impact movement and potentially lead to serious medical complications. Typically diagnosed during periods of rapid growth between the ages of 10 and 15, the cause often remains unknown. Regular screening for scoliosis is recommended as part of a child's ongoing healthcare routine. Parents are encouraged to utilize the complimentary SpineScreen app for annual checks.

Key features of the SpineScreen app include:

1. Learning about scoliosis signs and available treatments.
2. Conducting preliminary at-home spine assessments.
3. Scheduling calendar notifications for yearly screenings.

If immediate concerns arise regarding your child's spine or other medical conditions, consulting with a healthcare professional is advised. For additional information on scoliosis screenings, treatment options, and to download the app, please visit shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/scoliosis.
