Sorry, here's the correct URL:
https://orthosurg.ucsf.edu/patient-c...ister.cfm?js=1
This is a conference for patients and parents. Last year, it was just for adult patients. It's a series of talks about various treatments (including surgery, yoga, Pilates, injections, etc.). The most likely agenda will include adolescent/teen treatment options in the morning, cross-over topics mid-day, and adult options in the afternoon.

Last years meeting was fantastic! For those seeking information about any scoliosis related topics, there were many scoliosis surgeons and doctors available to answer many and any questions.
Since most surgeons are extremely busy people, its awfully nice of them to make things like this happen.
I also hear there is going to be a big pizza and soda party, and I’m feeling a little low on grease.
Just kidding...lol

hi Melissa
i think sitting for all that time proved that your body still needs to do a lot of healing!
please do not attempt travel and more sitting...
sometimes when we push our bodies too hard, we pay a huge price for doing so!
it has taken so long for you to get the right surgeon and the right surgery....it would
be a shame to risk messing it up!
that is just my opinion...written out of concern for you...
hope you take it in the spirit it is presented....
hoping you feel better soon...

I am going to try to sit in the car 2 1/2 hours to go to San Diego on Thanksgiving. I can sit 1 1/2 hours to go to the hospital so we will have to make a stop in the middle of the tripMelissa

By the way, I think they claim they started observing the holiday before the US did. It obviously doesn't revolve around Plymouth. MA but I forget what it does commemorate.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

We haven't set a date, but I suspect we'll have a cutoff about a week prior to the event. The auditorium that we're using seats about 150, so there could feasibly be a cutoff if we fill up, but I don't actually think that will happen.Never argue with an idiot.

Hi...
Just reminding folks of this event. It's a week from tomorrow. A full day of all sorts of information about scoliosis, with lunch provided by NuVasive and Better Way Back. There is no charge to attend, but you must register by Thursday, December 1.
