Lourdes Has Scoliosis
Shiny orthodontia isn’t the only fashion statement Madonna’s daughter Lourdes is making with braces. Over the weekend, the paps snapped Lourdes flashing a back brace.
Those in the know about such things (not me) have observed that 12 year-old Lourdes is wearing the SpinCor corrective brace, which is commonly used to treat scoliosis or back or serious back injuries.
I hope nothing serious has happened to Lourdes back. She probably just has a little curvature of the spine like me from slouching in her desk at the back of the class and wearing her backpack on one shoulder.
I’m guessing that Madonna is just on a braces kick. She’ll probably have Mercy James in braces and headgear next week.

Madonna's Daughter Caught Mimicking Mom During Concert | Famecrawler commented on Aug 10 09 at 3:36 pm[...] Considering the choppy editing and the fact that we only get to see about 2 seconds of Madge’s eldest, I don’t think we can say for sure whether or not Lourdes inherited her mother’s dancing skillz. I can, however, say that 12-year-old looks pretty limber, despite her scoliosis or whatever. [...]

Lourdes Gets Her Dance On In New Madonna Video | FameCrawler | Babble Australia commented on Sep 02 09 at 12:00 amAli commented on Jul 14 09 at 8:29 pmONe of my sisters has scoliosis to badly she has had two surgeries and will probably never be able to have children. The curved spine presses on her heart and lung.
KL commented on Jul 14 09 at 9:37 pmI know lots of people with scoliosis. My grandma and my best friend from middle school had it and they’re fine now. I hope Lourdes doesn’t worry, she’ll turn into as beautiful a girl as she is right now.
PlumbLucky commented on Jul 18 09 at 12:37 pmScoliosis isn’t caused by slouching or wearing your backpack on one shoulder. Just an FYI. (Yep, have/had it. Mostly grew out of it without needing any outward corrective items/surgery.)
