Remember this when life with scoliosis is exhausting:

• At some point, every patient and family dealing with scoliosis feels this way. A breaking point comes for everyone, and it’s okay.
• You can’t separate your emotions from your scoliosis care – they are all intertwined.
• When you do hit that breaking point, make sure to have the support you need. Counseling is a great support for patients and families. Find a safe place to process your feelings and learn new coping skills.
