Living with Scoliosis: Telling the Emotional Story

Scoliosis affects everyone differently. Here we share the stories of people living with the condition - their struggles, pain, and courage to speak out. Why is this important? It is estimated that 35% of scoliosis patients have feeling of emptiness. With a healthy conversation, this emptiness can be filled with compassion and understanding. One conversation sparks another and another and so on. From emotional issues and substance abuse to stress and body image, scoliosis patients are taking control of their narratives by sharing their stories with others. The infographic narrates the emotional stories of people living with scoliosis. The physical challenges of scoliosis are well documented - yet the emotional impact often goes unnoticed. It is isolating for those who stuggle daily with challenges their friends and family cannot understand. Source: http://www.treatingscoliosis.com/infographics/living-with-scoliosis/
