Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation
The Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation has partnered with the National Spine Health Foundation to provide patient education information.
Patient Education Partnership with the National Spine Health Foundation
As part of Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation’s commitment to providing patient education, we’ve developed this landing page that provides easy access to patient education resources developed by us and the National Spine Health Foundation. These resources can empower you with knowledge and hope on your journey with Scoliosis.
Patient Handbook
This handbook about Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) was written for patients as they begin their journey with Scoliosis. It also includes experiences and ideas from people who have already traveled this road. Having had the opportunity to care for many teens with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, we recognize that each family approaches this diagnosis in their own way. We hope that the information provided will help you in your journey through scoliosis treatment.
