He will discuss the common causes, symptoms, and the impact of spinal pain on adolescents' daily lives and overall well-being. His talk aims to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent long-term complications.

Dr Brown will also highlight the benefits of screening and early diagnosis and the role of technology in improving health outcomes for young people. He will explain the current status of scoliosis screening in Australia and provide an update on a research project aimed at testing a novel web-based scoliosis screening tool called the ScoliScreen app.
