Tangled in the Curves is an honest firsthand account of real life with idiopathic scoliosis that fully captures the scoliosis journey through teenage diagnosis, bracing, surgery, and adulthood. It's also a useful tool that provides easy access to an abundance of practical information: resources, options, research and expertise, tips and tricks, and personal stories from "scoliosis warriors" around the globe.
