June is Scoliosis Awareness Month: A Time to Reflect, Support, and Stand Tall Together

At MN Scoliosis (mnscoliosis.com) and Minneapolis Chiropractic Center (mplschiropractic.com), Scoliosis Awareness Month is close to our hearts. Whether you’re one of our patients, a parent, a friend, or simply someone curious to learn more – we see you. We know scoliosis isn’t just a diagnosis. It’s a journey that takes strength, patience, and a whole lot of resilience.

This month isn’t only about raising awareness, it’s about honoring everyone who shows up for themselves or someone they love. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, wearing a brace, treating at our Minneapolis or Edina Clinic, or staying consistent with your checkups – this month is for you.

You’re Not Alone

Scoliosis can sometimes feel isolating, especially when others don’t quite understand what it’s like to wear a brace in the summer or manage spine care while trying to keep up with everyday life. But here in our clinic, and throughout the scoliosis community, you’re part of something bigger. Millions of people share this experience, and your story matters.

Progress Looks Different for Everyone

Progress isn’t always measured by degrees. Maybe you’re wearing your brace a little longer each day. Maybe your exercises feel easier, or you’re finding your rhythm. Maybe you’re just feeling more at ease in your body. That all counts. However it shows up, we’re here for it – and we’re cheering you on.

Mental Health Matters, Too

Scoliosis isn’t only physical, it can affect how you feel, too. Some days are frustrating. Some days feel heavy. That’s okay. You’re allowed to feel all of it. This month, we want to normalize that part of the journey. Whether you’re talking with someone who gets it, or just giving yourself a little more room to breathe – remember your emotional well-being matters just as much as your spine.

Your Story Can Make a Difference

You might not realize it, but what you’re going through could mean the world to someone else. Sharing even a small part of your journey,  online, with a support group, or during a chat in the waiting room, can offer someone the connection they’ve been looking for. You don’t have to have all the answers. Just being real can make a real difference.

We See You, Not Just the Curve

Scoliosis Awareness Month is about more than seeing the curve, it’s about seeing you. Your courage. Your commitment. Everything that makes your story yours. So this June, we’re celebrating everyone living with scoliosis – and everyone who walks alongside them. Keep showing up. Keep moving forward. And most of all, keep standing tall.
