💚 June is Scoliosis Awareness Month 💚

Did you know that scoliosis affects approximately 2–3% of children and adolescents? Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves sideways, often forming an “S” or “C” shape. It most commonly develops during the growth spurt just before puberty and can range from mild to severe.

An estimated 14,000–21,000 children and teens across Nevada may be living with scoliosis. Early detection is important because treatment options, including monitoring, bracing, and, in some cases, surgery, can help prevent the curve from worsening.

This month, the Family Navigation Network raises awareness, supports individuals and families affected by scoliosis, and encourages regular screenings and conversations with healthcare providers.

💚 Junio es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Escoliosis 💚

¿Sabías que la escoliosis afecta aproximadamente al 2–3% de los niños, niñas y adolescentes? La escoliosis es una condición en la que la columna vertebral se curva hacia un lado, formando con frecuencia una figura en forma de “S” o de “C”. Generalmente se desarrolla durante el período de crecimiento acelerado que ocurre justo antes de la pubertad y puede variar de leve a severa.

Se estima que entre 14,000 y 21,000 niños, niñas y adolescentes en Nevada podrían estar viviendo con escoliosis. La detección temprana es importante porque las opciones de tratamiento, incluyendo el monitoreo, el uso de corsés ortopédicos y, en algunos casos, la cirugía, pueden ayudar a prevenir que la curvatura empeore.

Este mes, Family Navigation Network promueve la concientización, apoya a las personas y familias afectadas por la escoliosis, y fomenta las evaluaciones regulares y las conversaciones con los profesionales de la salud.

1 in 300 children in the United States live with celiac disease.
It is one of the most common genetic conditions in the world. However, because many symptoms mimic other digestive issues, a significant portion of children go undiagnosed.

Celiac disease requires lifelong care through a strict, gluten-free diet, as there are no pharmaceutical treatments or cures available.

Imagine if you couldn’t eat glitter, but people put glitter on everything, like salt. That’s sort of what it’s like to have celiac disease: when someone with celiac eats gluten, their immune system attacks their small intestine. But gluten is small, gets everywhere, and is hard to fully clean up, just like glitter.
