Awareness Month

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month

Every June, we unite as a community to raise awareness, share stories, and advocate for early detection and treatment of scoliosis. Whether you’re a patient, parent, provider, or supporter, your voice helps us amplify this cause.

Why Scoliosis Awareness Matters

Scoliosis affects 1 in 40 children and up to 1 in 3 adults. Many go undiagnosed for years. Awareness can lead to earlier detection, improved treatment options, and better quality of life.

In 2008, the National Scoliosis Foundation launched Scoliosis Awareness Month to educate the public, reduce stigma, and advocate for change. Since then, June has become a time of action, visibility, and hope.
