6. Lourdes Leon
Lourdes is the daughter of Madonna, so naturally, she is going to look pretty darn good! Yet she was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was a cute little 12-year-old. She was photographed wearing a back brace, which was used for corrective posture so that her spine would stop curving so much to one side. The brace was complete with belts and straps. And just look at how much Lourdes is kicking butt today! She is battling the scoliosis and she even dances as a backup performer for her mom! That has got to be a bit weird, but hey, whatever works for her and Madge!
5. Isabella Rossellini
Star Isabella Rossellini is so beautiful, yet she too was born with the scoliosis back disease. When she was 13, it was diagnosed and she had to take corrective action as soon as possible in order to avoid prolonged pain and even more curving of her spine. So she went through a grueling year and a half of stretching herself beyond her limits – quite literally. She had to do stretches, wear body casts, and she even underwent an operation in which pieces of her shin bone where used on her spine. It must have been difficult and frightening for Isabella to give birth to a daughter and find out that she had scoliosis too.
