I welcome you to the new website of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). The SRS is proud to offer you a full set of educational materials on all forms of spinal conditions especially those that involve spinal deformity such as scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. My goal is to provide you the most comprehensive, in-depth, yet understandable information to allow you to become comfortable understanding any of these conditions. Whether you are a patient, family member, close friend, health care professional, SRS member or just an interested reader, you will become more knowledgeable in the field of spinal deformity by using this website. Thank you.

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.

The purpose of the Scoliosis Research Society is to foster the optimal care of all patients with spinal deformities.
