Scoliosis Screenings

I've recently caught a few scoliosis cases, a mother and daughter in fact. The mother has several years of chronic pain that may or may not be related to the scoliotic curves. She was doing well in treatment, and decided she trusted me enough to check her twin 14 year old daughters. I did a simple exam and found a positive belt test and a different of heights of the thoracic ribs as the patient laid prone on the table. I sent for xray films of the daughter, and the mother requested films of herself also. I obliged, since she had had her back pain for so long, and considered a chance of scoliosis or abnormal posture curves anyway. Here are the films, first one is of the mother, and the 2nd and 3rd are the daughter (who had no back pain). the twin showed no abnormalities during exam and no xray was taken. this shows the necessity of going to the chiropractor occasionally, even if you are not in pain.
