Last week we saw Olivia, a delightful 5 yo young girl for follow-up for her scoliosis.
She was sent to us 4 months ago with a scoliometer reading of over 7 degrees.
Her X-Rays in our office, measured very accurately on our digital scoliosis X-Ray system showed a 28 degree scoliosis 4 months ago.
This last set of digital X-Rays taken in our office showed that her curve had decreased to 20 degrees!
Great news for Olivia and her family!
We often see scoliotic curves especially in this younger age group actually improve with growth.
Olivia was so happy with the news that she was going to sing for us, since she plans to be a “rock star” some day, but then she got a bit shy, and told us that we would have to wait until her next visit to Hey Clinic!
