Is there a patron saint for back problems?

[NikNak]

My son is 8 years old. He used to have a tracheotomy and used to get pneumonia a lot. But last year I took him to Mass on the Feast Day of St. Blaise and ever since then he has been extremely healthy. Then just this past August we were told he has scoliosis. The doctors just say to watch it and wait. It’s very mild right now. I have been praying about it. But I thought it might help if I knew of a patron saint of back problems. Is there one?

I don’t know of a saint who has been officially delegated the cause of back problems in general or scoliosis specifically. But I can recommend Bd. Margaret of Castello, who was herself a hunchback.
