June is Scoliosis Awareness Month. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, and it affects about seven million people in the US. Most cases are mild and treated with bracing, while others require surgery that limits flexibility. Today, we meet a young ballerina whose dream to dance was threatened by a severe case of scoliosis. Erica Foreman has more on the novel surgery that has her back ‘en pointe.’ Aubrey is already a professional level ballerina and plans to pursue a career in the performing arts. Doctor Goodwin says currently only a small subset of scoliosis patients are candidates for tethering, although it’s a relatively new procedure and that may evolve.
