SCOLIOSIS ASSOCIATION UKSAUK is the only national support group for scoliosis (lateral curvature of
the spine). Although this condition is quite common, few people have heard of
it. So when a parent is told that their healthy child has scoliosis, it can
come as a severe shock. SAUK's network of contacts provides the opportunity to
find reassurance from others in similar situations, and to share the physical,
emotional and social aspects of scoliosis. SAUK's older members also find this
service helpful. SAUK provides information about scoliosis and treatment available at
specialist centres. Older members with severe curvature also benefit from
information on respiratory treatment centres and pain clinics. SAUK does not
give individual medical advice but working alongside the medical profession
aims to fill any gaps left by busy hospital clinics. A newsletter is produced thrice-yearly and other publications are available,
including a handbook on Scoliosis.
