…a little more about Marc

Marc wears two professional hats: he is a devoted chiropractor, but also an enthusiastic Schroth scoliosis practitioner. He also has scoliosis. Although he helps people all day with their back problems, he is quick to point out that each approach is quite different and emphasizes that the Schroth method does not incorporate chiropractic manipulation. Dr. Marc (as patients call him) divides most days into chiropractic patient hours and Schroth instruction hours. He is one of those blessed individuals who LOVES all that he does. When his daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis and he discovered the Schroth method, his knowledge of the spine and his motivation as a parent of a child with scoliosis served as the impetus and inspiration for him to be among the first U.S. practitioners to bring Schroth to the US. His hard work and dedication have allowed him to evolve into the knowledgeable, conservative care scoliosis physician he is today.

…and Kathy

Kathy Moramarco has worked behind the scenes of Moramarco Chiropractic Office since 1987. Since the establishment of Scoliosis 3DC in 2007, she has been responsible for marketing and communications. Kathy has accompanied Marc on each trip to the German scoliosis clinic and to numerous international scoliosis conferences and events. The only non-scoliotic member of the family, she considers herself a “scoliosis advocate,” and always enjoys the opportunity to meet other scoliosis professionals, as well as to hear the “scoliosis stories” of parents of children with scoliosis and adult patients.

Marc and Kathy decided to create this personal blog as an adjunct to the Scoliosis 3DC site to share their personal and professional insights. Their unique perspective comes from their role in bringing the Schroth Method to the US, their point-of-view as parents, and also as advocates for advancing the causes of conservative care for scoliosis -including research and development. Their hope is to provide a friendly landing place for parents who are struggling with a child’s diagnosis – just as they were in January 2001 – or for adult patients to gather information in their quest to make living with scoliosis a little easier.
