💚 Happy International Scoliosis Awareness Day! 💚
Did you know this global event was originally launched in 2013 by the organization now known as Scoliosis Support & Research? It takes place every year on the last Saturday of June to unite our global community.
The scope of this condition is vast:
Millions of children and adolescents worldwide are currently living with scoliosis, with global prevalence affecting around 3% of the young population.
In the United States alone, nearly 38,000 children undergo complex spinal fusion surgery every single year.
Today, we wear our green ribbons! Green represents growth, renewal, and hope for every single child and family navigating their scoliosis journey. 💚
