Scoliosis Explained
มุมมอง 358ปีที่แล้ว
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 ...

    How about a over the counter insole with a Met pad built in? Also I run ultra races up to 100 miles. My fear regarding toe spacers would be they may give me blisters between the toes. Perhaps wear the spaces over toe socks? Thoughts?

    I'm pretty sure that my scoliosis was caused by me falling down an entire stair case at barely 3 years old, I hit my left eye on a step and got it cut, my parents later told me that they remembered that they could see through my eyelid and that they could hardly look at me, I passed out from pain and the blood and trauma while getting stitched up got me to forget about the whole event for a good portion of my life, not wanting to look back although I had vague memories and maybe that I also suffered a concussion. But it's like I was cut out from the pain in my body and I stayed tense in my muscles and tissues. I think that my pelvis probably got misplaced from the fall and that parts of my spine suffered pretty severe impacts, although I've had other falls later on in my life as a kid, but my body never adjusted, because I was completely shut off from pain and in this rigidity. They fixed the cut, but I wasn't given any X-rays or anything to see if I had anything broken or misplaced, I was just sent back home (I live in France and am in my 20s). The fact that I've never been asked if I had traumas in the past by any professional or specialist deeply questions me, the lack of research and studies, even statistical ones is very problematic. I've also realized that scoliosis is an industry and that some professions make a living out of chirurgical treatments or braces for exemple. I'm not saying that you're responsible of this, but I want to challenge you in what you think that you know about scoliosis, I'm aware that I might have my own bias and blindspots. But I still can't understand that we cannot explain medical causes of scoliosis or that we haven't found ways to treat it. I would have given all of my money away to the one person that could have got me to heal and trust me that is more money than any professional could ever make with their specific treatments from treating one person and there's many people like me in my situation, that would go as far as selling their houses to be freed from this burden. I don't even think that the traditional ways to address scoliosis or some cases at least create viable businesses because they're not scalable. What the industry does is keep people in misery and the only alternatives to surgery that doesn't fix the underlying issue, are all these money vampiric ways to cope with the condition. I kinda feel like scoliosis specialists are scams so I'm starting to accept the condition and I expect that if I am to heal from it, that it will come from myself and that I will have to figure out the causes on my own at this point. Because I just do not trust the multitude of doctors and specialists that I've seen, some of them openly lying to my face.

      Resume of my research so far. Hope this can help you. What they both have in common is "restrictive eating", starting with no refined sugar, no process foods, no seed oils, no chemicals such as additives and preservatives, eating less often. The other thing I'm also noticing is that maybe some of use are supposed to eat mostly vegan and others mostly carnivore ??? Could be due to genetics and hereditary genes and maybe a lack of proper microbiome in the gut. I recently got diagnosed with Crohn's, however last summer I had to undergo antibiotic treatment to save my foot from a weird aggressive aquatic bacteria. I'm thinking that my body is now lacking certain types of good bacteria to digest and handle certain types of foods, I'm now trying to re-establish my good bacteria via multiple fermented foods and even probiotic yogurt enema's. I also cleaned up my diet, even though it was 90% clean to begin with. I've added magnesium citrate supplements, lots of vit D 10000UI per day, L-glutamine, curcumin tablets, ginger, apple cider vinegar, and intermittent fasting, 16/8h, only 2 meals per day and 3 to 4 day fast per every few months to reset and clean my immune system.
