Dr. Moramarco, Scoliosis Bio

Dr. Moramarco is a graduate of Boston University and The National College of Chiropractic. Since 1987, he has successfully treated patients with musculoskeletal conditions at Moramarco Chiropractic Office, PC in Woburn, Massachusetts.

In 2001, he began researching the conservative treatment of scoliosis when his twelve-year-old daughter was diagnosed with the condition. Not satisfied with any of the scoliosis options or alternatives offered in the United States, he decided to take his daughter to Germany to receive instruction in the Schroth Method for scoliosis. The Schroth Method was established in 1921 and has been used there successfully since then. In April 2002, they traveled to the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth Clinic in Bad Sobernheim, to learn the basics of this scoliosis specific exercise therapy program. Upon returning, father and daughter began daily practice of the curve-specific exercises and rotational breathing techniques learned.

At the same time, Dr. Moramarco began attending international scoliosis conferences and became involved with an alliance of individuals committed to researching alternative treatments for the conservative management of scoliosis. He became a founding member of SOSORT: The International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment.  Dr. Moramarco continued his study of the Schroth method and in 2005 participated in a US course taught by Schroth expert, Dr. Manuel Rigo, of Barcelona, Spain. Soon after, Dr. Moramarco was named to the editorial board of Scoliosis, an online publication dedicated to research regarding the conservative treatment of scoliosis and more recently to the editorial board of The Internet Journal of Rehabilitation.

Dr. Moramarco has made frequent trips to Germany to study with his friend, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss, former medical director of the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth Clinic and Axel Hennes, Senior Physiotherapist at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Clinic. In 2007, he became the first U.S. licensed physician to be certified in the Schroth method at the renowned German facility.

Dr. Moramarco is still, and will always be, a dedicated chiropractor, but because of his personal connection to scoliosis and the encouraging patient outcomes he witnesses via the Schroth method, he is committed to helping scoliosis patients take a proactive approach to scoliosis management and help them learn how to help themselves and hopefully avoid surgery, or additional surgery.

He established Scoliosis 3DC in 2007 to bring the Schroth Method to the United States with the goal of helping other families frustrated with the lack of options provided for scoliosis treatment. Patients have traveled to Scoliosis 3DC from more than twenty states and five countries. Dr. Moramarco thoroughly enjoys instructing and advising scoliosis patients each day and is dedicated to helping others by sharing his scoliosis expertise.
