Sharing your story of scoliosis with others can be so rewarding. It helps start a conversation with friends at school. It can be the friendly smile to someone else with scoliosis. It can be a creative outlet to share your artistic skills. We know our friends at Spinal Technology will love this picture of a Providence brace! 💚🐻

Avery is our very first Warrior of the Week!! She is staying strong while getting adjusted to her second brace and I couldn’t be more proud of her. She is a Higgy Bears Ambassador and donated over 100 Higgy Bears yesterday to kiddos at Shriners. Thank you for all that you do, Avery!!

Thank you so much to Meredith and Addy for donating Higgy Bears to kids at University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children's Hospital! Check out this awesome article about the girls and their participation in the Higgy Million Bear Challenge!

Two young patients with scoliosis are hoping to make the treatment journey a little easier for others by donating hundreds of stuffed animals to patients at University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

Throwback to the beginning of Sophie's senior year and she took a look at her senior portrait and realized how confident she was having almost finished with bracing. We definitely don't expect kids to give us this kind of shoutout, especially with all they've got going on at school. But this definitely warms my heart.💚
