A girl who complained about shoulder pain urgently needs corrective surgery after scans revealed her spine was curved at a 80 degree angle.
Sophie Burgess had complained about pain in her back and shoulder but trips to the chiropractor and physio hadn't revealed anything wrong. But after recently struggling with her posture it became clear the 12-year-old had a spinal curve as she was struggling to stand upright.
Mum Heidi Burgess Cederholm told the ECHO Sophie had injured her hand and knee in an incident at school so at first put her daughter's posture down to that. But after helping her daughter tie up the back of her swimming costume Heidi noticed how bent her back was.
