Raising Awareness About Scoliosis

Ever since I joined Curves Of Growth, I learned more about scoliosis. When I joined and looked at Curves Of Growth online, I didn’t really know anything about it. I read about the initiative and I just got a little bit of understanding. Now, I think that scoliosis is really important; in my life, I haven’t heard anyone that has experienced scoliosis. There is no one in my community raising awareness or talking about this. I find this isn’t really helpful as I think everyone should know about it.

Scoliosis might not be a big thing around my community, but I think we should still talk about it in health and career class. When I joined Curves Of Growth I realized that this community was awesome. I learned a lot through the founder as she was diagnosed with scoliosis before so she taught me a lot of things. As you might not know, but we have supportive friends, mentor and mentee applicants open. Through the supportive friend’s group chat that I had to research I learned a lot. I learned the different ways of scoliosis treatment. Examples can be surgery or getting a brace on your back so that your bone doesn’t curve anymore. That taught me more knowledge and what scoliosis actually meant. By supporting Curves of Growth, I hope to help new patients that are suffering through this time and get through what they are doing. I don’t want them to be stressed as we are still also in a middle of a pandemic, but if you would like someone to support you, feel free to join Curves Of Growth as a mentee, mentor, or support friend!
