“She has always been brave about her pain. But when we learnt how serious her condition had become, our hearts sank. I drive every day to provide for my family, yet I fear it is not enough. We just want to see our daughter stand tall and live without suffering.”
For years, 14-year-old Celin Roveena from Ernakulam, Kerala, quietly endured persistent back pain, believing it was something that would eventually pass. Three months ago, the pain intensified, making it difficult for her to sit, stand, or attend school comfortably. Alarmed by the worsening condition, her parents sought medical help. After a thorough evaluation, doctors diagnosed her with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis of the Spine, with her spine curvature having progressed significantly, nearly 42% affected.
