Scoliosis Check: When and How You Should Screen
Neurosurgeon Dr. Jeremy Denning was recently featured in the article, ‘Scoliosis Check: When and How You Should Screen’. Here is an excerpt from the article, ‘”Scoliosis check” is a prevalent trend on TikTok—but it’s not exactly a screening tool for the condition. In the videos, users demonstrate their posture when they try to hide their scoliosis—a curvature of the spine—versus when they stand in a relaxed position. The discrepancy can be jarring, and it’s a way to raise awareness about the challenges people with scoliosis face each day. People with scoliosis have an S- or C-shaped curvature in their spine and may be unable to sit, walk or breathe normally.’
