EXPERIENCES/TIPS SHARED BY SPINAL DEFORMITY WARRIORS
Having scoliosis and other spinal deformities can be emotionally difficult for youth and can negatively affect their self-image, generating feelings of anxiety, fear, and need for self-isolation. Finding suitable clothing and wanting to socialize outside the home can even become considerable challenges. But this doesn't have to be the case. No matter what size your curve is or how you think you look, you can love yourself and love your body! Do not let the negative self-talk take over. Do not allow what others say get into your mind. Be gentle with yourself, accept who you are, get comfortable with your body and love the skin you are in!
Carmen Lynch, who has appeared on a string of late night TV shows including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Conan has scoliosis.

Her scoliosis journey is very similar to my journey and she shares some great insight that I hope will help you see that despite having scoliosis anything is possible. Thank you Carmen for sharing your story with us!
Welcome to my channel! My name is Ava. I was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis when I was 14 years old. I felt so alone and even scared sometimes as there are very few places for kids to connect with other kids with scoliosis. I created this YouTube channel to post videos to share my experience with kids and teens so they know that THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
Follow me on my scoliosis journey as I share details about my non-surgical scoliosis treatment, my scoliosis brace experience and some scoliosis brace hacks.
I know this journey is not easy….but YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
