SRS leadership President's Message

I welcome you to the new and improved Web site of the Scoliosis Research Society, which will serve as the premier access portal for the dissemination of information on scoliosis and related spine deformities.

We present an easy to navigate site which features comprehensive educational materials on spine deformity--scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. The material has been written in a format comprehensible for our readers worldwide. As we aspire to be the global leaders in research and education in spine deformity, the Web site plays a strategic role for our members and the global community.

Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Welcome

The Scoliosis Research Society is a professional organization, made up of physicians and allied health personnel. Our primary focus is on providing continuing medical education for health care professionals and on funding/supporting research in spinal deformities. Founded in 1966, the SRS has gained recognition as one of the world's premier spine societies. Strict membership criteria ensure that the individual Fellows support that commitment. Current membership includes over 1,000 of the world's leading spine surgeons as well as some researchers, physician assistants and orthotists who are involved in research and treatment of spinal deformities.

If you are a patient or parent of a patient, please click the Patients & Family option on the navigation bar at the top for information and resources about spinal deformities.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Scoliosis Research Society is to foster the optimal care of all patients with spinal deformities.
The Scoliosis Research Society provides information on these web pages regarding research and links as a public service. The SRS believes that patients should contact their treating physician about the relevance of any information listed on the site prior to proceeding with any particular treatment. Just as no two individuals are exactly alike, no two patients with a spinal deformity are the same. Therefore, your spinal deformity surgeon will be the most important source of information about the management of your particular spinal problem.
