Although the new DNA testing came about almost 2 years ago, this procedure is growing in significance and prevalance among scoliosis patients. The DNA test, a quick swab of the inside of the mouth, can determine with high probability the risk of a curvature in adolescents becoming more severe. It can determine the course of action for a doctor and patient, as well as, aid in the functionality of the spine at critical junctions in treatment.
This medical breakthrough is monumental in the sense that it offers a streamlined approach to care compared to the "wait and see" approaches of the doctors today. This is not a knock on doctors, but how can you accurately prescribe treatments if the cause is unknown, future detriments are unknown, and the outcomes are unknown. To answer this....YOU CAN'T! So this test is another milestone achieved by the geniuses at Axial Biotech. Feel free to read the entire article located at http://nyp.org/news/hospital/dna-severe-scoliosis.html.
