About

The National Scoliosis Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 non profit patient organization. Founded in 1976, our mission is to prevent the worst effects of scoliosis and related spinal deformities through early detection & treatment, awareness, education, and research. Information and support services are provided to help patients and families make critical health care decisions, in the hope of minimizing any physical, emotional and financial burdens. NSF’s online Forum Community is comprised of 8,700 registered members sharing their journey, helping one another, and learning more about their condition.
