  • Scoliosis Awareness Week March 4-10

    Just wanted to send a friendly notice out to everyone that this week is Scoliosis Awareness Week. I did not knot this, but found out through an article I found out on the net...I've included the story in my blog...

    I was sent this article from Yahoo News dated March 5th titled "Kids may someday avoid back braces"

    It was published by the Associated Press and mentions NSF but don't know if it was picked up by local news media.....esp. in honor of Scoliosis Awareness Week:

      Thanks for sharing that article with us! Dr. D'Andrea (Shriners/Philadelphia) is quoted. I brought my daughter to her for a 2nd opinion. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.
