Lititz Doctor to Speak on Early Stage Scoliosis
2010-10-27
LITITZ, PA, October 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) Dr. Clayton Stitzel of the Lancaster Spinal Health Center at 504 West Orange Street in Lititz, Pennsylvania will be a primary speaker at the "Sound for Scoliosis" National Scoliosis Foundation fundraiser on November 7, 2010 at the Vintage Theatre at 222 Wyoming Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The fundraiser is in its second year and coordinators report the event has already doubled in size.

Sound for Scoliosis is a multi-venue festival of food, drink, music and a silent auction held the weekend of November 5 through 7 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, spanning nine venues. Tickets to each venue are $5.00 or a hopper pass is available for $10.00. Tickets can be purchased by visiting http://charityhappenings.org/sound_for_scoliosis.html. Sound for Scoliosis is endorsed by the National Scoliosis Foundation which received all of the donations. Other speakers at the event are Joe O'Brien, President and CEO National Scoliosis Foundation; Dr. Dan Golazewski, chiropractor and owner of Power Chiropractic; and Lucia Peregrim, Owner and Founder of Sound for Scoliosis.

Scoliosis occurs when the spine of the back forms a C or an S shaped curve. Scoliosis affects 2 to 3 percent of the population (an estimated 6 million people worldwide) and there is no cure. Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents, and adults worldwide. The primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10 to 15 years old, and the condition affects more females than males. Females are more likely to progress to a curve magnitude that requires treatment. Scoliosis can impact the quality of life with limited activity, pain, reduced respiratory function or diminished self-esteem.

Dr. Stitzel will be speaking both on the importance of treating scoliosis early in the course of the disease and on a new genetic prognostic test. Dr. Stitzel elaborates, "I will be speaking in regards to the role early stage scoliosis intervention needs to play in the current treatment of scoliosis protocol and how the advent of genetic testing in scoliosis will change the future of scoliosis treatment entirely. Obviously it is a great honor to speak at Sounds for Scoliosis and I'm thrilled to be able to give back to an organization that has given so much to so many before me."

A donation of over $4,000.00 has already came in to the Sounds for Scoliosis from doctors associated with the CLEAR Institute, a non-profit group headquartered in Minnesota that has developed a non-surgical alternative to scoliosis treatment. "The National Scoliosis Foundation runs many worthy programs for scoliosis patients and we know the money will be used wisely," remarks Dr. Stitzel, a Director at the CLEAR Institute.
