Scoliosis Screening Coming Back to Georgia!
Grady County Health officials have announced (23 January 2010) that they will be visiting middle schools during this semester to perform Scoliosis screenings.
All I can say to that is yippeeee! I hope some of the awareness we are battling to create everyday is starting to make a difference, Scoliosis screening is a must and should be brought to schools across the World! A simple test can make a big diiference to children and could prevent the need for surgery. Prevention is always better than the cure, and as there is no cure for Scoliosis, screening is a must!
The statistics for the United States claim that around 10% of children are affected by Scoliosis.
Information about the screenings will be sent to parents about two weeks before the screenings take place.
