SUMMARY:Scoliosis Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Standing Tall: What You Need to Know About Scoliosis\nDid you know scoliosis—an abnormal curvature of the spine—affects about 7 million people in the U.S.? June, recognized by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), is all about raising awareness, especially for adolescents, as this condition often appears during rapid growth phases.\n\nOverview\nScoliosis affects individuals of all ages but is most frequently diagnosed during adolescence. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and sometimes difficulty breathing. The good news is that early detection can significantly improve outcomes, whether through observation, bracing, or surgery.\n\n3 Facts\n\nIdiopathic scoliosis, the most common type, has no known cause and usually develops between ages 10 and 15.\nSevere scoliosis (curves greater than 45 degrees) may require surgical correction to stabilize the spine.\nMany people live full, active lives with scoliosis, especially with proper treatment and monitoring.\n\n\n3 Things To Do\n\nPromote screenings for children through school or pediatric wellness visits.\nShare information about scoliosis on social media using #ScoliosisAwareness.\nAttend community events or webinars hosted by the Scoliosis Research Society to learn about current treatments and advancements.\n\n\n3 Resources\n\nScoliosis Research Society – A global leader in scoliosis research and treatment education.\nNational Scoliosis Foundation – Patient-centered resources and personal stories.\nNIH: Scoliosis – MedlinePlus on scoliosis causes, symptoms, and treatments.\n\n
