In recent years, the incidence rate of scoliosis among adolescents and children in China has been increasing, making scoliosis the third major health issue for adolescents, following obesity and myopia.

Teenagers are in a critical period of physical development, and their bones have not fully formed. If scoliosis occurs and parents neglect to observe or seek medical attention in a timely manner, it is easy to miss the best treatment opportunity. Later, it may lead to conditions such as low back pain and lateral spinal spondylolisthesis, and even cause compression of the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in corresponding functional disorders, which seriously affect the physical and mental development of teenagers. Therefore, many provinces and cities have carried out scoliosis screenings and science popularization lectures for teenagers, helping school-aged teenagers learn self-screening techniques for scoliosis and understand scoliosis knowledge.

Scoliosis refers to a disease primarily characterized by a persistent deviation of a segment of the spine towards the midline of the body, resulting in a lateral convex curve or an "S-shaped" appearance of the spine. In traditional Chinese medicine, it falls under the categories of "chicken chest" and "tortoise back", and is diagnosed as syndromes such as "liver and kidney deficiency" and "spleen and stomach weakness".
