Scoliosis Awareness Month – Socials

We work with health professionals in all fields to help achieve the best results for scoliosis patients. Visit our how to refer page to download your referral form. Alternatively, you can contact us for more information.

If I refer a patient, can they still get treatment at my clinic?

Yes! ScoliCare clinics co-manage cases with other health professionals and, where appropriate, we encourage that they continue to see their referring healthcare provider. Our team will provide advice and recommendations for care specific to the patient’s scoliosis, and we deliver those treatment services in our clinics. We can provide updates on patient progress, and support on how to offer adjunctive care within your clinic with tools such as the ScoliRoll orthotic device.
