The first step for every Scoliosis SOS patient is attending our clinic for an
initial consultation. At the beginning of your consultation, we will go through your medical records, evaluate any symptoms you’re currently experiencing, and ask you about any previous treatments you may have received for your back problems. Next, we will conduct a medical examination and evaluation of your spine and back; this means taking many measurements and performing a
formetric scan of your back.
In a short period of time, the Formetric 4D System can accurately evaluate:
- Weight distribution
- Pelvic position – including torsion, obliquity and anterior/posterior tilt
- Waistline symmetry
- Coronal (head above hips) balance
- Sagittal (side-on) balance, including evaluation of kyphosis and lordosis
- Shoulder levels
- Scapular position
- Neck alignment
Another form of scoliosis scan that we use here at Scoliosis SOS is the Pedoscan. This scan is used for analysis and recording of static and dynamic foot pressures alongside gait analysis. Using precise high-frequency pressure plates, a Pedoscan provides an intricate analysis of the weight distribution and behaviour of the patient’s feet both when standing still and during movement. This scan gives us an insight into how your spinal curve might be affecting your posture and walking habits.
