Thank you to all the doctors, clinicians, nurses, healthcare/government officials and patients & family members who are working to spread the scoliosis awareness campaign throughout the U.S. and to many countries around the globe, from Canada, to the U.K. and as far reaching as Turkey.

We need a strong collective voice advocating for early detection and treatment to ensure that children and families receive the optimal care they deserve. A special thank you to our local policy makers, providers, and school nurses for their continual support for more than thirty years.

OTTAWA, May 27, 2015 /CNW/ – Join the Curvy Girls Ottawa at the Scoliosis Awareness Day Proclamation Ceremony at City Hall! This event is open to the public and begins at 8:45 a.m. on Monday June 1, 2015.

Curvy Girls Ottawa is a peer-lead support group for teens with scoliosis. Scoliosis is a medical condition resulting in a curvature of the spine. Many Canadians are affected by this condition and more awareness is needed! June 1st is also Scoliosis Awareness Day in Ottawa.

Mayor Jim Watson will present the proclamation to the Curvy Girls at City Hall. The Curvy Girls invite the public, as well as local media to attend the ceremony to raise awareness for scoliosis. To show your support, wear pink or green!

We are pleased to offer the new Scolioscreen device which in combination with the Scolioscreen APP, (available at iTunes) allows for the early detection of scoliosis, and also enables patients and families to track the status of an abnormal spinal curve at home. Scolioscreen won the Best New Technology Award and is today’s innovative modern alternative for yesterday’s scoliometer! Scolioscreen is designed to fit all smartphones, with or without a protective case.
