Annual routine school examination for scoliosis has been established in the San Juan Unified School District. Additionally, several parochial schools and other schools in the county or nearby towns have expressed interest in such a program. A rapid, effective method, taking no more than 30 seconds per child, has been used to detect spinal curvature. The program is beneficial for those identified with scoliosis, because early detection, followed by proper treatment, can prevent major surgery. The need for careful school nurse follow-up must be emphasized. A standing x-ray and evaluation by a qualified physician are imperative. If scoliosis is diagnosed, the school nurse can be a very effective contact in assisting the students by discussing exercise or brace care and by providing encouragement and general supportive help.
圣胡安联合学区已开展了年度脊柱侧弯常规学校检查。此外，该县及附近城镇的几所教会学校和其他学校也对这样一个项目表示了兴趣。一种快速、有效的方法已被用于检测脊柱弯曲，每个孩子检测时间不超过30秒。该项目对那些被确诊为脊柱侧弯的人有益，因为早期发现并随后进行适当治疗可以避免大手术。必须强调学校护士进行仔细随访的必要性。必须进行站立位X光检查并由合格的医生进行评估。如果诊断出脊柱侧弯，学校护士可以成为非常有效的联系人，通过讨论锻炼或支具护理来帮助学生，并给予鼓励和一般支持性帮助。
