OUR GOAL

To provide families funding assistance for receiving the most successful outcomes for their children’s health and wellbeing through proven scoliosis treatments. These treatments will be delivered by only highly skilled practitioners, thus preventing the need of accepting a minimal standard of care.

The applicant must provide:
1. Proof of 50% to 100% out of pocket expense. 
2. Up to one page hardship letter from the patient/parent.
3. Letter of recommendation, for example from a teacher, close friend, manager, coworker, medical professional, and more.
4. There are 3 separate applications for the Align Scoliosis Foundation:

The Align Scoliosis Foundation has a mission to provide funding for quality scoliosis bracing and scoliosis specific therapy so that a patient is not limited in their bracing options due to funding.

To qualify for this funding, the orthotist or the therapist treating the patient must have:

  1. A high standard of care
  2. History of advanced training in applying the three-dimensional correction to scoliosis*
  3. Close follow up of the patient to monitor curve changes
  4. Ongoing data collection to measure success (clinical photos, x-rays, goal-tracking with patients)

* Typically, a training course alone is insufficient to gain proficient skills in this type of treatment, both in bracing and scoliosis specific physical therapy. Alternatively, simply having many years of experience treating scoliosis also does not always qualify an orthotist or therapist to meet these standards. The orthotist and therapist must have specific experience and training in the three-dimensional correction of scoliosis as well as demonstrated hands-on experience with solid training and continuing education in the treatment of three-dimensional deformities in scoliosis.
