Posted on June 13, 2020May 30, 2021 by Louise

June is scoliosis awareness month, so I thought I'd write a post about some common signs of scoliosis.

When I was 14, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine, after my dad noticed that my shoulders were uneven. Unfortunately for me though, when my scoliosis was diagnosed, the Drs discovered that I actually had two spinal curvatures (in an 'S' shape) and both curves had already progressed...Read More
