Dr. Cynthia Boyd, D.C.
Oversight Director / CBP® Certified Instructor / ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance® Advanced Certified Provider

Cindy Boyd Chiropractor

Bay Area Scoliosis Center is considered one of the Bay Area’s most respected resources for cutting edge Scoliosis treatment. Located inside of Symmetry Health Center and founded by Dr. Cynthia Boyd D.C. in 2006, the group has been a resource for patients with severe spinal deformities such as Scoliosis, Thoracic Hyper-Kyphosis and other complicated spinal conditions.

In 2013, the facility became one of the first ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance® certified centers in all of California and since then has become a destination for many who suffer from rare spine conditions . At the forefront of conservative treatment for Scoliosis, we use a specific method of treatment which includes an over-corrective approach during treatment and bracing.

This allows for an end goal of achieving the most symmetrical spine and posture possible post treatment. Most of our therapies and bracing are done in the mirror image or inverse position of the spinal configuration that the patient presents with. We have helped many patients reduce their curves and maintain them, in turn experiencing less pain and disability.

Not all cases of scoliosis require bracing, but when they do we utilize ScoliBrace™ a state of the art system that customizes bracing for scoliosis patients using a computerized 3-D scanner system. Unlike traditional bracing methods that are designed to limit movement, the ScoliBrace™ is corrective in nature and redirects the spine toward a corrected position. We also make braces for other postural problems and conditions including Thoracic Hyper-Kyphosis.

The KyphoBrace™ is also available at Bay Area Scoliosis Center – Leading scoliosis treatment center in Bay Area.

Jerelyn “Lynn” Rio
Patient Care Coordinator | Remote Team Member

Lynn’s connection to people has always shaped her career path. That drive led her to earn a Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM), with an early goal of working abroad. Her journey took a different direction, but staying in the Philippines didn’t stop her from living out that original goal—she found she could still connect with and support people from around the world without ever leaving home.

Over the next 14 years, Lynn built a career in customer service, supporting U.S.-based companies in the banking and telecommunications industries. Along the way, she developed strong skills in clear communication, problem-solving, and handling client concerns with professionalism and empathy. She later gained experience as a Legal Assistant, providing administrative support for personal injury claims, including documentation management and case coordination. Together, these roles shaped her into someone who is organized, adaptable, and consistently focused on delivering quality service.

Today, Lynn brings that experience to Bay Area Scoliosis Center as a Patient Care Coordinator, working remotely from the Philippines. She applies her customer service and administrative background to help ensure patients feel supported and well cared for throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Lynn stays just as engaged with the people around her. She’s involved in community groups and activities that allow her to build meaningful relationships, and she stays active through volleyball and pickleball. She describes herself as naturally adventurous and a bit of a risk-taker, always open to trying something new. For Lynn, life is about creating meaningful connections, enjoying the journey, and making a positive impact along the way.
