Dealing with the diagnosis of scoliosis

Hi, I'm back again to talk to you all about dealing with the diagnosis of scoliosis, I'm no expert and no one can tell you how to deal with anything in life, everyone copes differently, however I wanted to let you know how I coped and what, now looking back I would suggest doing.

Scoliosis can be a scary and frightening thing and I want to be able to help as many of you as I can. with that been said I'd like to firstly explain for anyone who has recently been diganosed what scoliosis is. Scoliosis is an adnormal curvature of the spine it can be an S or C shaped curve, I personally had an S shaped curve. It is normal for everyone to have a natural curve within the spine, but when this curve gets over 10 degrees it is then considered a mild case of scoliosis. There are many treatments for scoliosis including close monitoring (i.e. X-rays), bracing, physiotherapy and finally for severe cases a
