Scoliosis Explained
มุมมอง 29911 หลายเดือนก่อน
What is scoliosis? Can you cure it? Is it genetic? Do you need surgery? Can you still play sports? Will your back hurt later in life? Does physical therapy work? These are questions I get all the time from kids and parents during initial evaluations for scoliosis, so I thought I would consolidate my answers into this video for anyone curious. These answers apply mainly to adolescent idiopathic ...

awesome information Just a note on research Anything older than 10 years is not ideal even if its still accurate as it should have been reviewed within that period Not a cristism and I and very grtaeful for the time you have taken Just don't want to your findings to be dismissed due to the age of research
Thank you 🙏
I call bullshit to this whole video. My Morton's neuroma is the worst when I go barefoot. I've tried correct toes and they don't work for me either. I will try the metatarsal pad because I haven't done that yet
2:45 lol!
It's. Bad for me. I also have hypothyroidism
Please don’t increase your fiber, your intestinal system can’t digest it when you are inflamed! I listen to all this for over a year and got free from all symptoms but the fiber ruins it in the long run. Do carnivore people🙏😊It’s so much better.
If someone lives below power lines, does that affect earthing?
My dr. Told me to tape my toes I have it in both feet at 2 and 3 and left is 9cm and right is 8cm. Well it caused more pain. SMH. I has tow spacers she said not to use so I returned them. Wth.
I went forv orthopeadic Physiotherapy appt. Best thing I ever did
Doo dee due doo. Doo dee sue doo. Cue the twilight zone theme.
No doctor here
I stopped wearing socks and the pain went away. I am going to try the socks with individual toe holes ("toe socks") to see if these are helpful. I also have found some sock companies where the socks are almost like soft hosiery and so there is no compression of toes. No socks has made all the difference for me, like a miracle, finally able to wear my shoes with no pain. I hope this helps someone.
Man I can't find the bear barracks vibe anywhere did they sell the company or sum?
You being from AZ and wearing a Seahawks sweater is all I need. You could tell me that Earth is flat and that the landing on Moon was Hollywood trickery and I’d buy it. Go hawks! Also I’ve modified my Hawthornes to become “casual dress” boots. They are so close to greatness on arrival, but not quite there. Some slight modifications make them an ideal boot/shoe gap filler.
👍
How many minutes should you start off at if standing in the grass?
SOLUBLE fiber. Insoluble will be like colon blow.
I'm a medical coder. This is unknown great health information and easy. All diseases have inflammation. Earthing kills inflammation
I wear the metatarsal pads and they help tremendously. My doctor told me to wear a shoe with a rocker towards the front (ie Hokas). I have not tried toe separators. I will have to try them. Thanks for the video but alas I would like to wear shoes that are cute.
i have been grounding while sleeping for 10 days... after the 3 rd day i felt pain in my hips running across my body. its been getting better every day since the pain started.... i also sit on a grounding matt during the day.
i've had UC for 20 years and i've never had a high blood mark for CRP or any other marker even while in a flair lol
You get the right size you can wear these all day
Listen, I'm looking into trying out barefoot shoes and these are on sale. As someone who hates spending more than 80 bucks on shoes that I'll barely wear because I live in flip flops in Florida, I got excited with the price. Most barefoot shoes are pricey from what I've seen so far. Thank goodness I found this review, because i would have ordered these and been disappointed. Likely never trying barefoot shoes again and dealing with plantar fasciitis for the rest of my life. I'll bite the bullet and try the Primals I suppose. Thank you for this review!
The flat sole is a no go when you need arch support and have facia problems. Flat for me hurts worse. I can't even go barefooted. I have to have cushion with arch support. Spacers yes but there is no way to go over an hour in those things. I have found that using an insert with that section of the neuroma cut out works best for me. Wide toe box for sure. Mine was caused from sleeping with my feet stacked and cricketing.
Hi. How can one do earthing if they have plantar fasciitis or tendonitis and can’t walk barefoot? Can we get benefit just from grounding mat?
I wish you would put the database link in your notes - on the video, it’s hidden by the text.
Haven't finished the video yet, but....how long should you do that?
Something snapped inside my left foot when I went upstairs I didn't put my foot fully on step and used too much force on the front part of my foot. It feels sore and tender inside near middle of big toe and second toe and when I walk and bend my left foot I feel a clicking inside and can sometimes hear it. What is it? I'm not sure it's motor neuroma. There isn't any pain at bottom just feel a clicking sometimes. What type of indoor shoes would u recommend. My crops are too big. The backs of my feet are narrow so my feel roll inwards and a private podiatrist said I have flat feet and bit of plantar fasciitis. I try to lean on the outer edges but that puts strain on my legs. I struggle to find footwear to support my combination feet.
Well explained video I used to have the metatarsal pain and started wearing for years, the Altras wide toe box zero drop It really helped tho the quality seems to have been decreased. and still wear them today . However the other day I slipped on a new pair of Hoka Speedgoats I had laying on the shelf in the box and the pain came back instantly. I am assuming the shoe manufacture make that much difference? Where can I purchase those insoles with built in meta pads? Thanks
Thank you!
Send me your number
Thank you for your helpful video. I have both planter fasciitis and now MN. I have flat feed and arch support helps alleviate back pain. Can I wear barefoot shoes and use metatarsal pads with arch insoles?
I went to several practitioners, they all just gave me useless exercises and didn’t even investigate the points your talking about. So not any different than youtube. I just spent thousands over nothing. And im just suffering in pain.
Hello I agree with your video all sugars and fats truly messes up my tummy competely. At the same time when I eat too much fiber my tummy becomes terrible! Specially leafy greens I can t digest them at all and they come out the same way they came in. Can you recommend fiber food that are easy to digest please?
Awesome information! Thank you for sharing!!
I'd like to get into grounding but do I have to paint my toenails and drink my piss too?
Will I e er be able to jump rope again 😢, thanks for the video All these good shoes have super high heels I’m like I need cushion under the ball of my feet , I get zapped in my toes my middle3 toes thanks
#1 thing you ALL should do is a Food Journal. Was told this 34 years ago. We share a name(Chrons) and that’s it! We are all different. Start writing down what Your body likes
Im open to the science but that shoe/diabetes graph is hilarious nonsense
Do you understand that people with diabetes are preyed upon and mistreated?
👏👏👏
hey doctor, great video!I am 40 and have spinal asymmetry extending from T10-L4 (right thoracolumbar curve measuring 9°). Also disc bulge present at the L4/L5 level. Lots of discomfort on my back ! 1) Would you recommend these exercises.
I love the gold accents on the tolos, but it seems they changed the disign it is white now. I really would like to get some with the gold. Does somebody know where to get them?
Why do you refer to yourself as a Dr. then?
I tried everything,fasting really help,just eat every 24 hours,you can eat everything even have couple of drinks once a week,just go 24 hours with only water and koffee,ohh and try to drink some kefir 4 times per week
Doc, do you recommend any specific brand for toe spacers?
What kind of Doctor are u?
Please be careful when switching to a minimalist shoe from having shoes with of cushion. I think the best way is to take suggestions/hypotheses and try what works. I have scoliosis in two parts of my back with a lower kyphosis. I switched to a minimalist shoe. I am always barefoot at home, as well. Unfortunately, my symptoms got significantly worse! I have the x-rays to prove it. I have to have some more support in my shoes.
I just wanna say one thing. When i start walking or even stand still on ground barefoot my both nasal paths opens up and i think may be it balances up our both neural hemisphere.
I have a scoliosis...just don't have the fame 😢
I bought grounding sheets and used them for two months and they didn't help my body pain. I went barefoot for two hours a few times but it didn't help. I was so disappointed.
