The Truth About Adult Scoliosis: What You Need to Know About History, Treatment Options, and How to Prevent Progression by Dr. Andrew Strauss Pdf
Adults with scoliosis are often overlooked and forgotten by our healthcare system. After treating many adults and hearing their questions, frustrations and needs, Dr. Strauss was compelled to write this follow-up book. In it he offers adults with scoliosis the fundamentals about scoliosis, treatment options, hope and reassurance. (NOTE: 35% of the content in this book on adult scoliosis is identical to the book on child scoliosis, "Your Child Has Scoliosis, Now What Do you Do?". This identical content includes the history of scoliosis, general scoliosis terms, causes of idiopathic scoliosis etc.)
When a routine check-up discovers mild scoliosis in high school freshman Libbey Eicher, doctors were not concerned that it would progress. After all, her skeleton was almost mature. As time would tell, they should have been concerned. In Standing Up to Scoliosis, author Libbey Eicher tells the story of the years after she and her family received the diagnosis of scoliosis. With a rapidly decompensating spine, Eicher and her family turned to many doctors to find answers to or explanations for her case. Eicher shares her thoughts and frustrations as she faced countless doctors' appointments and seven spinal surgeries in four and a half years. Follow her journey as she learns to give her fear and frustration to God and to wait for healing in His time. In Eicher's inspirational story, you'll discover that when storms of life try to overtake you, hope still shines in the distance.
"I Have Scoliosis too" is a quick introduction to scoliosis and the emotions of being "different". It's a picture book geared toward the younger audience. Hope is the main character who doesn't have to make this journey alone because she meets Emma. Emma loved wearing her back brace because she said it made her back feel straighter and she felt taller wearing it, but Hope thought she was just plain crazy. The two go on their journeys together. One curve progresses while the other does not and they are there for each other. This book is a must-have for any child coping with a scoliosis diagnosis and a great beginning book to read for younger children before reading this author's detailed memoir on the topic for teens. - "This story of Hope and Emma is one that needs to be heard. All children can relate to feeling different. Stories like this one show kids that who they are is who they are meant to be and that they are not alone. This is for all kids to read. Children seeing what others experience and knowing that they are not alone in their struggles is of great importance. Children of all ages can develop scoliosis, and the side effects are not all physical. Scoliosis can lead to self-consciousness, feelings of isolation, and so many more negative feelings. When people with scoliosis, or any condition, know that there is someone like them going through something similar, it makes the world of difference ... Your 'Emma' is waiting for you with open arms. You are not alone!" - Julianne Martin, teen Leader for Curvy Girls of Connecticut, a network of peer-run scoliosis support groups for girls around the world. - "This book resonates with me on so many levels. Both my daughters are diagnosed with Scoliosis and I wish their had been a book out for them that was age appropriate at the time of diagnosis. This will be a great book for any young girl newly diagnosed." -Page King, Scoliosis Parent
