Scoliosis is a condition that affects the spine and can be found in people of all ages. Most often diagnosed between the ages of 10 and 14, scoliosis develops gradually. More girls than boys are diagnosed with scoliosis.
It is recommended that all children are tested for scoliosis on a regular basis. The disorder, scoliosis, is explained as an abnormal curving of the spine. A scoliosis test in the U.S. is done by a child removing his shirt and leaning forward.
Axial specializes in scoliosis testing and is located in Salt Lake City, UT. Axial received accolades from The New York Times when they referred to Axial as "an ideal genetic laboratory." Scoliosis affects a small share of people, around 2% of the population.
It is a requirement by about half of U.S. states for scoliosis tests to be completed in public schools. Find out if your child's school administers a regular scoliosis test to students.

Scoliosis is not caused by carrying a book bag exclusively on one shoulder, poor posture or poor diet. Thorough health screenings, including scoliosis tests, are given each year to specific grades.
Axial is the first company to pursue DNA-based pre-symptomatic and prognostic tests for common spinal conditions such as scoliosis. These scoliosis tests will augment current clinical and surgical practices. Johnson & Johnson Developmental Corporation will be collaborating with Axial to develop their prognostic scoliosis test.
Scoliosis is a common spinal condition, and can be monitored with regular observation by a doctor and annual tests for scoliosis during the growing years. A teenager with scoliosis is less likely to progress than child under 10 that has scoliosis.
