Accessibility Statement

At S4 Spine, we believe everyone deserves equal access to healthcare information and services. We are committed to making our website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This page outlines our approach to digital accessibility and the features we provide.

Our Commitment

We strive to ensure our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability or the technology they use to access the web. Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience for everyone who visits S4 Spine online.

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These internationally recognized guidelines help us create content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

Accessibility Features

Full tab navigation throughout the site, visible focus indicators, and a skip-to-content link for quick access to main content.

Screen Reader Support

Semantic HTML structure and ARIA labels ensure content is properly announced and navigable with assistive technologies.

Text Resizing

Responsive design that works correctly at 200% zoom without loss of content or functionality.

Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios for readability.

Motion Sensitivity

We respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query to minimize animations for users who need it.

All form inputs have proper labels, and error messages are clearly associated and announced.

Screen Reader Navigation

Our site uses semantic HTML (headings, landmarks, lists) and ARIA attributes where needed. Use your screen reader's heading navigation (e.g., H key in NVDA/JAWS) to jump between sections. The skip-to-content link at the top lets you bypass repetitive navigation and go straight to the main content.

Resizing Text

You can resize text in your browser: Ctrl + Plus (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Plus (Mac) to zoom in, and Ctrl + Minus or Cmd + Minus to zoom out. Our layout adapts to support text scaling up to 200%.

Our website is designed to work across a wide range of browsers and devices:

  • Chrome (latest)
  • Firefox (latest)

  • Edge (latest)
  • Opera (latest)

The site is fully responsive and works on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience.
