Scoliosis. Hmm…Scoliosis is a very weird sounding word isn’t it? Well, I can’t blame you if you haven’t heard of it before. I didn’t even know what it was until I was diagnosed with it. So, I am here to inform you what it is.
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Basically that means there is a curve in your spine in an S or C shape. It can be caused by a few different things. You can be born with it, or you can develop it as you grow. It is 8 times more likely in girls than in boys.
The type that I have developed as I grew. I had a major growth spurt, and my spinal cord didn’t grow as fast as my actual spine. This resulted in my spine curving so that the spinal cord doesn’t tear or tug on my brain.
