June is #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth. Early detection and diagnosis is key to a good outcome[1]. Additionally, #scoliosis can have negative effects on mental health. The noticeable curvatures of the back and shoulders sitting at different heights, the affects of wearing a brace, or the scarring after surgical treatment can result in low self-esteem and negative body image[2].​

Stryker is proud to partner with Back to Healing (BTH) (formerly known as StraightForward Scoliosis Foundation) as we celebrate their mission to improve the quality of life of individuals affected by scoliosis. BTH strives to create empowerment and awareness campaigns that will deliver an impactful, creative and emotional platform focusing on the artistic beauty of how spinal curvatures uniquely affect the human body and #mentalhealth.​

Women in Engineering

Celebrating International Women’s Day last week, we want to highlight the talent of our Enabling Technologies team and the huge achievements being made by the strong women in digital health, imaging, navigation and robotics. These business leaders have worked relentlessly with their project teams and customers to evolve the way spine surgery is done and help to define the future of Stryker’s computer-assisted surgery portfolio.



Enabling Technologies engages expertise across Stryker to support development of comprehensive, integrated solutions. It is inspiring to see the way the minds of our brilliant women leaders work; the way they can organize and present on project plans; educate, motivate, and move cross-functional and cross-divisional teams; and work with our customers to deliver such meaningful technologies to the world.

Stryker is proud to partner with Back to Healing

We are proud to partner with Back to Healing (BTH) (formerly known as @StraightForward Foundation) as we celebrate their mission to improve the quality of life of individuals affected by #scoliosis. BTH strives to create empowerment and awareness campaigns that will deliver an impactful, creative and emotional platform focusing on the artistic beauty of how spinal curvatures uniquely affect the human body and #mentalhealth.

As research shows, the emotional side of scoliosis creates a very high burden on people living with the condition. BTH therefore truly believes in celebrating the remarkable stories of people afflicted to advance the understanding of the emotional implications, as well as create a society where those affected feel empowered and heard. They recently collaborated with Director Cara Scott on a breathtaking dance film where she magnificently captured 5 dancers whom all live and perform with scoliosis. You can view the film at https://youtu.be/zbB5z5rhNac and learn more about how to support BTH’s mission by visiting https://backtohealing.org/.
