Grace Gonzalez
Photo Credit: Susie Lang Grace Gonzalez is an inspiration for women everywhere. She was born with scoliosis, and the condition defined and constrained her for most of her life. Her aunt first noticed the curve in her spine when Grace entered puberty. Her parents immediately took her to see an orthopedist, and she subsequently endured three surgeries. Grace hopes to "inspire other women who may be feeling insecure and are afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone to begin their journey toward loving and embracing themselves."
Researchers continue to study possible causes for idiopathic scoliosis and surmise that a combination of several factors may lead to the disorder. These include: genes, hormones, and changes in cell structure. |
