Scoliosis Awareness Month
June is Scoliosis Awareness Month.
It’s a month focussed on uniting scoliosis patients, families, doctors, and health professionals to promote public awareness, education, and advocacy of scoliosis. The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), the leading international spine society, is highlighting the importance of early scoliosis detection and the effectiveness of bracing as early, non-surgical care.
New Study Backs Bracing For Treating Scoliosis
The 28th of June is earmarked as “International Scoliosis Awareness Day”. It’s an important initiative and great opportunity to educate Australians, and the rest of the world, about one of the least understood spinal development conditions, Scoliosis.
As we all know, Scoliosis is commonly detected during adolescence and can cause spinal deformity, posture imbalance, and in severe cases it can affect the function of the heart and lungs. Various evidenced treatment options have been shown to be effective depending on the stage and severity of the scoliosis curve – options include special scoliosis exercise therapies, rigid or dynamic bracing, and in advanced stages, surgery.
