 Do you do scoliosis screening in your school and what ages/grades do you screen?  What is the recomendation of the State School Nurse's Association and the National School Nurse's Association?  Do any of you have the assistance of a Chiropracter?  Thanks.  Randi

In Sioux Falls we screen the sixth graders in the spring.  We have Chiropractors that volunteer to screenings.


I think there are mixed reviews about doing scoliosis screening, but for now we are staying with 6th graders.  If you are researching this topic I would be interested in what you find out.


Thanks,

Randi – We now do 5th, 6th and 7th grades – in the Fall.   This year our local chiropractor did over 400 students in one day at two school buildings – with one assistant!
