Providing advanced spine treatment for children from under-resourced countries suffering from debilitating conditions
About us
SpineHope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing advanced spinal treatments directly to underprivileged children around the world. Our goal is to provide state-of-the-art treatment to children who otherwise may not receive modern treatments for their complex spinal problems. In order to provide sustainable local care to these children, we are equally dedicated to teaching local physicians and staff to provide these treatments themselves. Working together with local physicians, we can correct spinal deformities, remove pain, and often prevent paralysis and extend life. We offer a domestic program that will bring select children to the United States for care in support of new sites and where there is currently not an outreach site.

🌊✨ Kindness Makes Waves ✨🌊 Monica Santamaria Narvaez, our brave SpineHope patient has her heart set on another big dream: becoming a marine biologist! 🐠💙 While recovering from scoliosis surgery, Monica experienced a magical moment thanks to the generosity of the Austin Aquarium. After hearing her inspiring story and scoliosis journey, the aquarium donated tickets, giving Monica the chance to explore an interactive marine world for the very first time! Here’s what Monica had to say: "I came to Austin for one purpose: to have surgery on my spine. But along the way, new adventures have made this journey unforgettable—like visiting the Austin Aquarium. It was an incredible day, filled with wonder as I discovered marine and terrestrial species. Thank you to the aquarium staff for making this dream come true with so much kindness." The Austin Aquarium is on a mission to inspire the next generation of oceanic explorers and conservationists. Home to over 8,000 living creatures from the Oregon shores to the vibrant reefs of Indonesia, they bring the majestic wonders of the ocean to Austin. 🌊🐙 Thank you, Austin Aquarium, for helping Monica’s recovery shine even brighter! 🌟 Learn more: https://austinaquarium.com #AustinAquarium #generosity #newadventures #spinehope #healingjourney

🌟 **Inspiring Story Alert!** 🌟 Update on Daveanand "Dave" Khemraj from Guyana, a true #ScoliosisWarrior who's living his dream! Back in January 2022, Dave was a SpineHope patient of Dr. Craig Kuhns at Austin Spine, battling a 73-degree scoliosis curve that had a huge impact on his physical and mental well-being. But Dave didn't let that hold him back. He dreamed of becoming an electrician, playing cricket, and simply feeling and looking like his best self. Fast forward 2.5 years, and Dave has turned those dreams into reality! He's now a successful electrician climbing to heights he never thought possible, feels confident in his body, and is back on the cricket field! 💪 We are incredibly proud of Dave and his relentless determination to overcome obstacles and live life to the fullest! #Inspiration #ScoliosisAwareness #SpineHope #OvercomingObstacles #LivingYourDreams #Cricket #Electrician #Transformation #StrongerThanYesterday #SpineSurgery #HealthJourney
