Your One-Stop Shop for Scoliosis Screening

The Scoliosis Screening Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta bridges communication between children and teens, their families, their school, and their doctors. The Georgia Department of Public Health requires scoliosis screening programs take place at public schools, typically in sixth grade and eighth grade. This page will help you establish a successful program at your school. We support our community by coordinating referrals to our pediatric orthopedic surgeons for children with positive scoliosis screenings. Our physicians will evaluate and treat infants through young adults.
