welcome to cyber scoli
straight talk about scoliosis
Cyberscoli is an online support group for people dealing with scoliosis. As I struggled through various phases of scoliosis, I often felt confused and alone. I wished that I had a support system of people who were going through the same experiences as me and understood how I was feeling. I created cyberscoli so that everyone dealing with scoliosis could have that support system and community. To make this community accessible to all, cyberscoli is internet and social media-based and offers virtual support groups online.
About 7 million people in the U.S. suffer from scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause pain, limited mobility and poor posture. Most scoliosis patients are children who without monitoring or treatment could end up with extremely severe cases. Fortunately, doctors offer a wide range of treatment options ranging from physical therapy to braces to scoliosis surgery. The key to all of these treatment options is early diagnosis. If we detect scoliosis early enough, braces may be sufficient to stop the progression. If not caught early, there are highly effective scoliosis surgeries.
