Madonna Daughter Lourdes Back Brace For Scoliosis



Lourdes Ciccone Leon, the 12-year-old daughter of pop queen Madonna, has been ordered to wear a back brace to help correct a spinal problem.

Lourdes was photographed earlier this month wearing SpineCor body brace around her waist.
Spinal expert Dr. Ron Marinaro, of The Scoliosis Center of Los Angeles, explains that the discreet device is designed for patients diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis, a common spine curvature that affects more than 3 million youngsters.
Dr. Marinaro tells Star, “She’ll probably only have to wear if for about a year or two.”
Lourdes — who was also fitted with dental braces earlier this summer — will still be able to dance and engage in other physical activity as she’s being treated.
(Glad to hear Mini Madge is going to be okay.)

Poor thing. That sucks. Having to be an adolescent is bad enough with out that too.

That's quite an improvement over the cumbersome, obvious scoliosis braces they had when I was a teenager. My scoliosis is/was mild enough that I fortunately avoided that contraption. It was really a confidence killer for some girls.

^^^ the ones i remember that kids wore when i was in high school looked pretty medieval, they had a metal rod that went up the back and with an attached disc that went around the neck/jaw. looked so uncomfortable. this device looks much more manageable.

Like Joan Cusack in Sixteen Candles? The waterfountain scene is all kinds of wrong, but so funny.

Poor girl- hope it goes quickly and uneventful. My friend who was not diagnosed as a child is looking at surgery to correct hers.

Cough, cough Kaballah Water curer of nuclear contamination, pestilence and disease has failed Lourdes?

[rollo]

^ It's failed Lourdes but it has turned back the hands of time for her mother.

She looks like she was allowed to get her eyebrows and lip waxed! Hooray!

[sparkly]

I have scoliosis and opted not to wear a back brace as a stupid teen. Now I'm going to need surgery sometime in the future.

[KristiB]

Aww she needs to read Deenie by Judy Blume. After that book I kinda wanted a brace. Yeah I was a weird kid.

[AliceInWonderland]

awww poor lulu that sucks, hope she'll be ok!

[crackho]

Damn. She is gorgeous.

Scoliosis my ass. You know Madge paid a doc to come up with that diagnosis so she could put her daughter in a fugly chastity belt.
