Through various forms of media we aim to improve the public's knowledge of Scheuermann's Disease while also educating the medical community to improve methods of early detection.
Media
We have been hard at work developing ways to get Scheuermann's Disease into the public mainstream and better known in the medical community. It seems practical that many people wouldn't be knowledgeable about Scheuermann's Disease unless it directly impacted their lives or that of a loved one. However, it continues to be a concern when all levels of the medical community, from nurses to physician assistants to physicians themselves, are not familar with the name let alone the symptoms to diagnose the disease.
This is not the case with similar spinal disorders where diagnosis protocols are developed during a person's youth for most medical specialists (i.e. school nurses, physician assistants, general practitioners). That is where The Scheuermann's Disease Fund strives to be. Reaching the general public to not only educate about this often terrible and painful spinal disease, but also to aid in its early detection to prevent the devastating long-term ancillary effects often seen in undiagnosed cases.
So please review the pamphlets and brochures that we have developed.
Contact us if you would like to receive a bundle to give to your medical specialist for their waiting room, or if you need them for a Scheuermann's Disease Fundraiser, or if you have somebody that you feel would benefit from reading the material. We would also be more than happy to provide you with links to, or copies of, articles from various media outlets touting the charity or Scheuermann's Disease.
Getting the word out the is the best way to educate!!
