Scoliosis is not associated with childhood trauma. It's primarily idiopathic, meaning its cause is unknown, though genetics and growth factors are considered.
Children with scoliosis often do not report back pain. The condition is usually detected through physical exams or screenings rather than symptoms like pain.
The Adam's forward bend test is a common method for screening scoliosis, which involves the child bending forward at the waist with arms hanging down. This position highlights any abnormal curvature of the spine.
