Scoliosis is a lateral deviation of the spine that affects between 2% and 3% of the population. Its early detection, especially between 10 and 14 years of age, is crucial for effective treatment.
Symptoms and warning signs
- Uneven shoulders (one higher than the other)
- Prominent shoulder blades (scapulae) in an asymmetrical manner
- Uneven waist
- Head not centred over the body
- Persistent back pain in adolescents
The role of BiPSys in detection
The BiPSys System allows an objective and quantifiable evaluation of posture in minutes. Unlike traditional visual observation, BiPSys provides:
- Precise measurement: Angles and deviations measured with accuracy
- Follow-up over time: Comparison of studies to assess progression
- Visual report: Graphical representation of the patient’s posture
- Early detection: Identification of trends before they become visible
If you have a child between 10 and 14 years old, consider having a preventive postural study carried out. Early detection of scoliosis can make the difference between simple conservative treatment and complex surgical intervention.
