Scoliosis Awareness Month Patient Spotlight: Meet Maykol 💚

Today we're celebrating an incredible milestone for Maykol! 🎉

After consistent dedication to wearing his TLSO brace, Maykol has officially graduated from bracing for his adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Not only did his curve remain stable throughout treatment, but it also showed improvement — a testament to the power of early detection, expert care, and patient commitment.

Pictured with Maykol is Dr. Jaime A. Gomez, whose guidance and care helped support Maykol throughout his scoliosis journey. Moments like these highlight the impact that a dedicated care team, supportive family, and determined patient can have on treatment success.

Every scoliosis journey is unique. For some patients, bracing can play a critical role in helping manage curve progression and avoid more invasive treatment options. Success stories like Maykol's remind us that every appointment, every adjustment, and every day of treatment matters.

A special congratulations to Maykol and his family for their hard work and perseverance throughout this journey. We are so proud of you and excited to celebrate this achievement!

💚 Early Detection. Proper Treatment. Stronger Futures.

💚 Scoliosis Awareness Month Patient Story

Meet Chloe and Lucy — two sisters navigating their scoliosis journeys side by side.

Chloe was diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Despite bracing, her curve progressed, and she ultimately underwent posterior spinal fusion. Lucy, diagnosed with congenital scoliosis, is currently being treated with bracing in hopes of preventing the need for surgery in the future.

Through every step, they’ve leaned on each other — sharing the challenges, celebrating the victories, and finding strength in a journey they uniquely understand together.

Pictured with Chloe and Lucy is their orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Craig Louer, who has cared for both sisters throughout their scoliosis journeys. The bond between patients, families, and their medical team plays a powerful role in helping children navigate treatment with confidence and hope.

Stories like theirs remind us that no patient walks this path alone. Behind every diagnosis is a family, a dedicated care team, and a community working together to help children thrive.

✨ Give hope. Share awareness. Support the scoliosis community.
