Scoliosis Association Charity Profile

The Scoliosis Association, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer non-medical organization. Since 1974, we have been helping those with scoliosis by providing information and having support groups and information lines. ]There are 54 active chapters (support groups) at this time. Support groups meet periodically, have rap sessions for the interchange of information and, often, guest speakers. A question and answer period for general questions is usually a part of the meeting.

We also provide a periodical, BACKTALK, to members, which is printed three or four times a year. BACKTALK is written by medical professionals and patients. There are "state-of-the art" articles on current diagnosis or management and treatment of scoliosis. The "Ask the Doctor" column contains questions from readers and answers from doctors. There usually is a "My Story" article in which a patient tells their experience with scoliosis. A source for "Pen Pals" is given as well as information about future meetings of support groups.

THE SCOLIOSIS ASSOCIATION, INC. is a support and information organization open to all. The General public, medical profession and many businesses belong and support the efforts of the Scoliosis Association, Inc. Our organization is led by its Board of Directors. Every two years a meeting of its Governing Board is held at which the presidents of chapters, chapter delegates, and members of the Board of Directors elect those who will lead us for the next two years.
