POWER OVER SCOLIOSIS
Patients 2 Patients Webinar – You Are Not Alone!
June is a special month for us as we celebrate Scoliosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to education, connection, and empowerment. At Setting Scoliosis Straight, we believe that open communication and shared understanding between patients, families, and healthcare professionals are essential in helping individuals make confident, informed decisions about their scoliosis care.
To honor this mission, we’re hosting a powerful webinar featuring patients from across the country who will share their personal stories and insights on navigating scoliosis. Two of our renowned surgeons will also provide evidence‑based updates on today’s leading treatment options. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from patients who have experienced a range of treatments—and to learn from experts who are shaping the future of scoliosis care.
Join us as we raise awareness, build community, and remind every patient and family that you are not alone.
