What is One Piece of Advice?

My name is Rianna Kesablyan and I'm so excited to partner with Spinal Technology for this special series during Scoliosis Awareness Month. There are so many questions surrounding a scoliosis diagnosis, and I'm going to tackle a few in this series.

What is the one thing you wish someone had told you?

If I could go back to the beginning of my scoliosis journey, there's one thing I wish someone had told me. 

You are stronger than you think you are!

When I was first diagnosed, it was overwhelming. The doctor visits, the uncertainty, learning to wear my brace and take care of it. But over time, I realized that scoliosis doesn't define me. It's a part of my story, but not my whole story. If you're just starting your scoliosis journey, know this. You are not alone!
