Alex's Story
Water polo is Alex's stadium to persevere and thrive. Alex had to stop playing his favorite sport due to unexpected scoliosis diagnosis, but after LuskinOIC CEO Dr. Scaduto operated on Alex and treated his disorder, he was able to get back into the water to compete again.
In the fall of 2024, Alex will be playing water polo at UCLA as a first year. Because of the treatment he received at LuskinOIC, Alex is not only able to play water polo again, but he's also able to enjoy surfing on the weekends with his dad and friends, helping him remain active and close to those most important to him.
