Scoliosis is the leading orthopedic problem seen in school age children.
\n5-10 % of the population has scoliosis and some researchers think it might be up to 30% of the population may have it but do not know it.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis affects millions of children every year around the world. For reasons unknown, females are 8 times more likely; Most cases develop b\/w the ages of 8-14
\nScoliosis is a disease of the neuromuscular system. Scoliosis is a curve or bend in the spine defined by a Cobb angle measurement of 10 degrees or higher. The Cobb angle is the measurement of how much bend or radiographic lateral flexion is present in the spine when looking at it from the front view on x-ray. It is measured in degrees. Most cases have 2 or more curves located in the neck, mid back, and low back. Scoliosis is a 3 dimensional problem. It has three components compression coupled with translation, lateral flexion and rotation
\nMost Common Scoliosis Postural Patterns are forward head posture, right head tilt, right high shoulder, right forward hip, right foot forward. Any abnormal postures from the front view such as a low shoulder, unleveling of hips, uneven gap or opening between hips and the arms and forward head posture from the side view are signs of possible scoliosis.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis progression most commonly occurs during puberty and menopause indicating a hormonal influence on curve progression. It\u2019s been known since 1969 that scoliosis progresses after skeletal maturity!!!!
\nCurrent Treatment Model \u2013 does NOT rehabilitate the neuromuscular system!!!!<\/p>\n

Observation 10-25 degrees (Why wait for it to get worse? All large curves start out small!!!)
\nx-ray every 6 months to monitor\/watch it get worse<\/p>\n

Bracing 25 degrees (Studies show the brace does not stop the progression or prevent surgeries)
\nOnce the scoliosis begins to progress or get out of hand the hope is the brace is going to stop the progression. The goal of the brace is to stop progress not reduce or correct the scoliosis.
\nSurgery 40 degrees (Scoliosis will bend\/break the rods and studies show 40% become disabled )
\nMetal rods implanted along the side of the spine to reduce the scoliosis.
\n8) Scoliosis can improve with our scoliosis treatment system without bracing or surgery. We have treated patients domestically and internationally with great success using our unique structural correction chiropractic treatment system.<\/p>\n

Rethinking Scoliosis<\/p>\n

Scoliosis is more than a Cobb angle. Scoliosis is a disease of the neuromuscular skeletal system. It is not a bone condition. It is a 3 dimensional, abnormal spinal position composed of compression,<\/p>\n

translation, lateral flexion, and rotation.
\nApproximately 80% of scoliosis cases are defined as idiopathic which means unknown cause. The unique thing about most idiopathic scoliosis cases is the spinal structure is not abnormal at the beginning. The bones are not abnormally shaped causing the spine to be bent and rotated. The system in charge of keeping the spine upright and straight relative to gravity is malfunctioning. Scoliosis in a nutshell is the brain misinterpretation of the body relative to gravity. It is holding the spine in an abnormal position but does not realize it. The origin of the condition appears to be not in the spine but in the brain. Posture and spinal position is controlled by the brain through involuntary postural reflexes. This is the reason you cannot correct your posture by just standing up straight. When you stop thinking about it you go right back to your original abnormal posture.<\/p>\n

Goal of Scoliosis Treatment<\/p>\n

The goal of our care is to help the patient improve symptomatically, functionally and structurally and provide the patient with tools to combat their condition with less dependence on doctors. The focus of our program is reduction and stabilization of the scoliosis without bracing or surgery. The goal of Scoliosis treatments’ is to rehabilitate the neuromuscular system which controls posture and spinal position. This program can restore hope, strength, and spirit.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis Treatment Without Bracing Or Surgery<\/p>\n

The first office visit for a scoliosis patient is comprehensive and addresses the muscular, neurologic, and spinal pathology characteristic of scoliosis. \u201cA new patient receives a scoliosis consultation and medical history review, comprehensive scoliosis physical and neurological examination, scoliosis posture pictures, and eight precise x-rays to determine scoliosis configuration,\u201d said Dr. Mark N.

\nSpinal Alignment Procedures: Specialized mechanical adjusting instruments, hands, and drop table equipment are used to improve the scoliotic spine alignment.
\nStrengthen and Reeducation Procedures:
\nAfter the spinal adjustments are completed, the spine is set in position to allow for holding of the spinal changes. This is accomplished through neuromuscular reeducation spinal weighting and whole body vibrational therapy.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis patients are given an individualized scoliosis home rehabilitation program to perform at their home in conjunction with office visits.<\/p>\n
