Scoliosis Care for All Ages: Success Stories & The "5 at 5" Home Screening Test
Welcome to a look inside the Hey Clinic! In this video, we take you on a tour of our patient-centered exam rooms and share the journey of scoliosis and kyphosis treatment—from conservative physical therapy to life-changing surgery.

What you’ll learn in this video:

A Different Kind of Exam Room: See how our rooms are designed for patient education, featuring big screens for X-ray reviews and dedicated space for families to get their questions answered.

Non-Surgical Success: Watch the dramatic improvements possible through Schroth exercises, featuring a 10-year-old boy’s kyphosis correction and a significant scoliosis curve reduction.

Surgical Milestones: We share stories of patients reclaiming their lives—from a teenage gymnast and a roller derby athlete to a 74-year-old grandmother regaining her independence.

The "5 at 5" Rule: Learn a simple way to screen your child for scoliosis at home using nothing but your smartphone.

The "5 at 5" Home Test 📱

Start Screening: Begin checking your child around age 5.

Use Your Phone: Open the "Level" or "Measure" app on your smartphone.

Check the Angle: Place the phone on your child's back as they lean forward.

The Rule: If the Angle of Trunk Rotation (ATR) is 5 degrees or more, it would be a good idea to get an X-ray.

At the Hey Clinic, we provide lifelong care for every generation. Whether you are a concerned parent or an adult dealing with spinal curvature, we are here to help you stand straight and live life to the fullest.

Meet Whitney!

Whitney’s scoliosis measured 44° and her kyphosis measured 58°.

Whitney shared her beautiful photos and story! 🤍

“When I was in middle school, I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis during my annual physical exam. The doctor just told me to keep a check on it and monitor for progression. The following summer, I attended church camp with my youth group. The camp director gave his testimony during chapel one day and he spoke about an amazing doctor who had performed his surgery to repair his severe scoliosis by the name of Dr. Hey! Shortly after returning home from camp, I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Hey. From the second I walked into his office, I felt a calming presence from the Lord and I knew that He had brought me here for a reason! I continued seeing Dr. Hey throughout high school and my first year of college and as my curve progressed more and more, he said to me, “if you were my daughter, I’d advise you to go ahead with the surgery.” I knew it was time and I felt certain that God placed me in the right hands of Dr. Hey! On September 14th, 2015, he performed surgery to correct my 44 degree scoliosis and my 58 degree kyphosis. As a 19 year old college student, I was beyond nervous for this day but Dr. Hey made me feel safe and secure. He prayed with me before surgery and was there with me every step of the way even throughout recovery, both in and out of the hospital. Life since surgery has been amazing - I now have an amazing daughter and am completely pain free! My scar means the world to me and is a symbol of my living testimony. I continue to show off my scar and share my testimony of what God did for me through Dr. Hey and the Hey Clinic! I will forever be grateful for Dr. Hey and his amazing team at the Hey Clinic!“ - Whitney
