Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for parents dealing with their children's diagnosis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. It is an inspiring account of living with scoliosis combined with insights of a psychologist. Adolescent scoliosis is a challenging spinal condition that can leave an emotional impact on the individual and their family, in some instances, over the lifespan of an individual. Diagnosed with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis over 40 years ago, at the age of 13, Reshmi underwent treatment in Australia in 1974 with corrective surgeries in adulthood. At the time, she decided to chronicle her journey with scoliosis, combining lived experience with her professional expertise as a psychologist to help those whose lives scoliosis has impacted. 'The Emotional Journey of Scoliosis' is written to give hope to parents and adolescents dealing with scoliosis. This book discusses the multitude of emotions experienced from time of diagnosis to treatment with a self-help guide to navigate the emotional journey. Written to highlight the advances in medical science since the 70's, the book inspires and gives hope to parents whose children require surgery for AIS. Parents whose children have other types of scoliosis, or indeed another medical condition can also benefit from reading this book since the emotional journey of a new diagnosis can be universal. Reshmi's intention is to help families face up to scoliosis with inner strength and learn to be a survivor. This book is also beneficial for health and mental health care professionals to understand the plight of individuals and families impacted by a new medical diagnosis.

Book excerpt: Growing up in the 1950s was not Ozzie & Harriet and Father Knows Best for Linda C. Wisniewski. Unlike the characters on her favorite TV shows, Linda learned to be quiet, atone for the sins of others, and just plain suffer as a way of life. Only when she came to terms with her Polish Catholic heritage, her physical deformity, and her widowed mother did she find inner peace and the keys to her own happiness. Readers of Angela's Ashes and The Joy Luck Club will enjoy this mother-daughter saga from sorrow to love. Author Susan Wittig Albert calls Off Kilter "a splendid first memoir about the difficult business of finding balance in our lives. Funny, honest, deeply moving, Off Kilter reminds us just how hard it is to adjust to the physical pain, the emotional loss, and even the surprising beauty of being fully who we are."

Book excerpt: Enjoy Living with Idiopathic Scoliosis during Adolescence aims at being a practical tool to improve and enrich the daily work of Physical Therapists, Medical Doctors, Orthopedic Technicians and Psychologists in the area of Idiopathic Scoliosis. In fact, Idiopathic Scoliosis and its treatments can bring to light important challenges, not only for the adolescents and their families, but also for the professionals who take care of these patients. How can we support them? What are the right words we can use to calm down an anxious parent? What can we say when our patient is crying? How can we promote a healthy body image in an adolescent? These questions and more are discussed in this book, which offers useful information and research to support these techniques which come from psychology, neuroscience and humanities, to make the journey in the fascinating world of adolescence. Considering that "Every problem is an opportunity in disguise" (President John Adams), as professionals we can give our support to our patients who live an idiopathic and so inexplicable condition. Several strategies and creative ideas are described to help our patients through their adolescence, finding the path of resilience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An In-Depth and Unbiased Look Into What to Expect Before and During Scoliosis Surgery Scoliosis surgery doesn't have to be a daunting, problematic and anxiety-ridden experience. In fact, with the proper information, advice and knowledge you can have the ability to make confident and informed decisions about the best and most suitable treatment options. Dr. Kevin Lau’s latest book will help you to discover current and crucial information that will guide you in making informed decisions about your future spinal health. You will: - Learn more about the details of scoliosis surgery – Including understanding components of the surgery itself such as why the rods put inside in your body during surgery (fusion) are meant to remain there. - Uncover the sobering facts – For instance, you will learn that after surgery, there is a chance you may not return to full normalcy, in appearance or in activity level. - Discover the factors that determine your long-term prognosis, including detailed case studies. - Learn how to properly evaluate the risks associated with the many types of scoliosis surgery. - Get great tips on how to afford your surgery and how to choose the best time, place and surgeon for your needs. - Discover Over 100 illustrations to help make it as easy to read and understand. Dr. Kevin Lau has made it his life's work to explore, investigate and share the truths about nutrition, diseases and healing. In The Complete Scoliosis Surgery Handbook for Patients, Dr. Lau explores the ins and outs of the scoliosis including the condition itself, surgery, and when a patient would benefit most from surgery. Dr. Lau reveals poignant and life-changing wisdom that no scoliosis sufferer should go without. Treat this book as your best friend and your guide on the journey to effective spinal health. This book is a compilation of the wisdom of many spinal professionals, including surgery physicians, orthopedic doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors and includes valuable insights from real-life sufferers. Carefully examining each treatment avenue a patient may consider, it allows individuals to feel confident and informed throughout the decision making process. While Dr. Lau believes in and teaches non-surgical practices, he acknowledges the many benefits of scoliosis surgery and strives to keep his readers and patients educated about every viable avenue for effective scoliosis treatment. What You Will Discover: - Affording Your Surgery – Learn about the different costs associated with scoliosis surgery and find out what factors determine the final price, such as age, health and the severity of your curve. - 7 Questions To Ask Yourself – The truth is that while surgery is suitable to some patients, it isn’t necessarily right for all. Consider these seven simple questions to help you determine if surgery is your best option. - Factors That Contribute to the Progression of Scoliosis – Did you know that heredity, injury or genetic markers aren’t the only things that can spur your condition on? Simple factors like vitamin deficiencies, elevated enzyme levels and hormone levels can all contribute to a worsening of your scoliosis. Find out what you can do to minimize the risk of these factors and learn how your imbalances may be affecting your condition. - Possible Complications – Surgery is a big decision and does not come without the risk of complications. Sometimes the complications are minor, like longer recovery times, but sometimes they can be life threatening or debilitating. Find out what factors lead to complications, how to minimize possible problems and how professionals go about testing you for these complications during surgery. - Returning to a Normal Life – Likely the biggest question on a patient’s mind is “When will I return to normal?” Learn from real case studies, the successes and hardships surgery patients encounter on the road to a normal, healthy life. Making an informed decision is the best way to ensure any success, and mental preparation is at least as important as the surgery itself. Knowing what to expect and how to mitigate the loss of money, time and effort will help you build a stable emotional foundation, minimizing fear, anxiety and surprises along the way. We all feel better knowing what to expect and this book will help you feel prepared, knowledgeable and in control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Beamer and a classroom full of Middle School students on their journey to learn about Scoliosis. Dr. Moe helps us understand how the spine is impacted and what can be done to help, while the students teach us that no matter what happens in life, we should all show kindness and friendship to one another. “I really enjoyed this book. Cindy Chambers has captured the feelings of children at the typical age at which scoliosis is discovered-middle school. Because scoliosis develops silently and gradually, creating awareness helps timely detection. The reactions, care and proper support are so accurately described here. Both personal and group dimensions are covered. All of the information is accurate. I think this book will help many young people to deal with this challenge in a successful way.” Paul David Sponseller, M.D., M.B.A. Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chief, Division of Pediatric Orthopaedics Department Executive Vice Chair, Orthopaedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD “This clear, concise, and fun story, , makes it easy to understand what scoliosis is, how it is detected, diagnosed, and often treated. It also reveals every child’s desire to be accepted by their peers, particularly when something beyond their control, like scoliosis, makes them different. Patients who have the support of their family, friends and medical professionals that “have your back” make all the difference, just like in Adie’s experience. We are very grateful for Cindy Chambers, Dr. Moshirfar, and Mrs. Allan’s 8th grade class at J. Lupton Simpson Middle School for their kindness in writing this wonderful book, promoting education, awareness, and compassionate care for children with scoliosis.” Luke Stikeleather, BSW, CO President, National Scoliosis Center , Fairfax, Virginia http://www.nationalscoliosiscenter.com/ “Thank you for writing this outstanding story to help children understand scoliosis. Beamer and Dr. Moe do a great job explaining this common developmental pediatric condition. The more we empower our young patients with knowledge about their health conditions, the more they will embrace their differences and support their peers.” Barbra Jill McCabe, MD, FAAP Medical Dirctor Pediatric Emergency and Hospitalist Services, Inova Loudoun Hospital, Leesburg, Virginia “What an honor to have Cindy Chambers share her talents with the students of J. Lupton Simpson Middle School! Her leadership and vision brought young minds to this dynamic and creative process to produce a book that will help children everywhere face the unknowns of scoliosis. In this twelfth Tell Me Town book, Cindy not only educates young readers but inspires middle school students. She provides students with an opportunity to make a difference in the world around them. Now if that’s not respect, thoughtfulness and kindness, what is?” Chad D. Runfola Principal, J. Lupton Simpson Middle School, Leesburg, Virginia

Book excerpt: The first contemporary novel about a disease that bends the lives of ten percent of all teenagers: scoliosis. Rachel Brooks is excited for the new school year. She's finally earned a place as a forward on her soccer team. Her best friends make everything fun. And she really likes Tate, and she's pretty sure he likes her back. After one last appointment with her scoliosis doctor, this will be her best year yet.Then the doctor delivers some terrible news: The sideways curve in Rachel's spine has gotten worse, and she needs to wear a back brace twenty-three hours a day. The brace wraps her in hard plastic from shoulder blades to hips. It changes how her clothes fit, how she kicks a ball, and how everyone sees her -- even her friends and Tate. But as Rachel confronts all the challenges the brace presents, the biggest change of all may lie in how she sees herself.Written by a debut author who wore a brace of her own, Braced is the inspiring, heartfelt story of a girl learning to manage the many curves life throws her way.
