A Proven Technology...
The Formetric was Invented in the 1980s
to periodically evaluate the progress in
scoliosis treatment without subjecting
the patients to harmful radiations. It is
widely used, since 1996, in Germany and
other European countries by chiropractors,
orthopedic doctors and surgeons,
dentists, osteopaths, research medical
facilities and universities. The Formetric
is FDA approved.
The Formetric works by using a harmless
white light to deliver a fast (40 milliseconds)
high-definition optical measurement
of the surface of the back to produce
graphical, clinical and analytical
information on the spine, the pelvis and
posture — without the need for radiation
or intrusive measures. |

Screening for idiopathic
scoliosis in adolescents
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis usually becomes
evident in the early adolescent years.
It is a spine deformity characterized by lateral
and rotational curvature of the spine.
Scoliosis screening provides the opportunity to
diagnose the condition and make referral for
appropriate medical care.
