Stay Positive and Ask Questions: Chiari and Scoliosis with Izzy

Most scoliosis is termed "Idiopathic" which means "of unknown cause". Sometimes though, scoliosis is caused by other things that we do know. In this episode, I talk to Izzy and her mother, Julie, about scoliosis that came on after a neurological cause.
Izzy was diagnosed with a Chiari Malformation which caused her scoliosis. Her experience and journey through brain surgery and then scoliosis treatment is inspiring.
Even with brain surgery and faithfully bracing, Izzy is now looking at having VBT surgery to reduce the size of her curve as she continues to grow. In this episode you can hear how she has stayed motivated and optimistic.
Her advice is to stay positive and ask questions. Listen to the rest of her story to learn more about what you can do to help your own curve.
