for the girls with scoliosis

Hello world. my name is emma. i am a 13 yr. old girl with the disease of scoliosis.
this is my first post as a blogger, and i hope that the blogs that i do are worth
the extra effort.
firstly i would like to say that having scoliosis is not something that should be taken
lightly, for if not treated properally, it could have to be treated by surgery.
secondly, this is a disease that affects over 30'000 childeren per year. so you are not alone
thirdly a scoliosis is a curve in the spine. mine happens to be 43 degrees.
and lastly the best way to treat scoliosis is to brace it. yes i said it. brace it. the brace that i have is the SPINECOR FEXIBLE BRACE which does not i repeat not have an impact on any pysical activities.
to all the girls with a curved spine i say good bye.
untill tomorrow
emma.
