Complimentary Scoliosis and Kyphosis Screening in Bahrain
Spine Center
King’s College Hospital London – Dubai Bahrain Clinic offers free scoliosis and kyphosis screening for people who may notice changes in their posture, uneven shoulders, or a visible curve in their back. Our Scoliosis & Kyphosis Screening Bahrain service is designed to catch these changes early, and if you need advanced spine imaging, a neurosurgical review, or help planning treatment, the clinic can arrange a referral to King’s College Hospital Dubai.
What is complementary scoliosis and kyphosis screening?
A Complementary Scoliosis & Kyphosis Screening Bahrain appointment is the first check of the spine to spot signs of abnormal curves. Scoliosis means the spine curves to the side, while kyphosis means the upper back is more rounded than usual. Screening is especially useful for children and teenagers because spinal curves can get worse as they grow.
What does scoliosis and kyphosis screening do?
The screening helps find out if you need more tests. It can include checking your posture, looking at your shoulders and hips, doing a forward bend test, a basic nerve check, and talking about your symptoms. If the doctor suspects a curve, they may recommend X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, physiotherapy, bracing, or a referral for Kyphosis Treatment Bahrain with a spine specialist.
