"Martina's Story"
Diagnosed with Scoliosis at the age of 12, Martina was put into a backtrace. When it was discovered that her curve progressed Martina was asked whether she wanted to continue with bracing or have the Spinal Fusion surgery, Martina agreed to have the corrective surgery. Hoping to have a better quality of life, she went into the surgery reassuring her family that God had her back.
Several years later at the encouragement of her Mother, Martina began sharing her story in the bay area at schools, community events, and on the radio to help raise funds for the hospital she had her surgery at.
Today Martina focuses her time on donating money from her first book to hospitals, bringing an awareness to Scoliosis with speaking engagements, and is working toward becoming a Scoliosis Ambassador who travels full-time to share positive words about Scoliosis and share how although she "has Scoliosis, Scoliosis does not have her" -The Martina Show-

Comparing normal curves in spine with scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown.
Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some children develop spine deformities that continue to get more severe as they grow. Severe scoliosis can be disabling. An especially severe spinal curve can reduce the amount of space within the chest, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly.
Children who have mild scoliosis are monitored closely, usually with X-rays, to see if the curve is getting worse. In many cases, no treatment is necessary. Some children will need to wear a brace to stop the curve from worsening. Others may need surgery to keep the scoliosis from worsening and to straighten severe cases of scoliosis.
Scoliosis Center
The Scoliosis Center works in conjunction with the Department of Orthopedics at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland to provide comprehensive diagnostic and medical care for children with scoliosis. Children’s Hospital Oakland is one of Northern California’s leading destinations for specialty pediatric spine care, innovative surgical techniques for young children with early-onset scoliosis, infantile scoliosis, and other deformities in the growing spine. You and your child will also have access to the latest research and developments, and follow-up support related to scoliosis.
