Journey with Scoliosis 

When I worked at Taipei Veterans Medical Center (National first-class medical center) in 2011, many referral patients asked if there are any non-surgical treatments to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS). Surgeons and I organized the first multidisciplinary team in Taiwan to study the non-surgical treatment for AIS patients. We provided comprehensive AIS patient care by weekly case reports and journal meetings. The lack of medical resources in AIS non-surgical treatment in Taiwan expedited the foundation of UprightCome Scoliosis Clinic in 2016. I traveled internationally 9 times between 2015 and 2019 for scoliosis specific training (PSSE and Bracing), attending SOSORT meeting and visiting Katharina Schroth Clinic in Germany (2018), London SOS Scoliosis Clinic in London, Scoliosis Care Clinic the Netherlands (2017). It’s a pleasure to be elected to the president of the International Scoliosis Society in Taiwan since 2019. Continue to promote medical care, the education and study of scoliosis conservative treatment.
