My guest was Mrs. Gooden Williams – the mother of an amazing child who has experienced severe scoliosis and has overcome with strength and determination. The names of those who had given support were so many that my guest asked me to also express her appreciation to Nekola Pitt and Nadine Hibbert who were not mentioned in the interview.
What is Scoliosis?

Viewed from the front or back, the spinal column should be straight. When scoliosis is present, you will see a sideways shift of the spine to the right or left. Approximately 10% of the population has small curves (less than ten degrees), which are of no consequence to function or health. This condition is called Spinal Asymmetry. When a diagnostic x-ray is done, the curve of the spine is measured in degrees, as an angle, and this is called a Cobb angle. Scoliosis is defined as a curve greater than ten degrees. It is most common in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine and can involve one or both of these regions. The most common curve pattern is a right thoracic curve.
