scoliosis

Kelli re: scoliosis

 

It may be irreversible if the vertebrae involved are actually larger on one

side than the other. I also have (had?) scoliosis, but perhaps mine was

more from the way I used my body over the years -- you know, sitting in a

chair with feet tucked up under me ... always to the same side (spinal

curve), or rotating my right shoulder a little forward (right handed) ... or

who knows ... just plain bad posture. when I was 40 I was going to a chiro

every Friday to get my " hip " (obviously, the SI joint) realigned and

anything else he could help with ... of course my habits and my muscles

would " pull me back out " by about Tuesday or Wed. of the following week.

 

Yoga literally SAVE me (from the pain) when I realized that things could

stay the same (not acceptable), things could get works (BIG ditto) or I'd

have to change my muscles, sit uncomfortable (feet to the other side tucked

up pushing against the curve) etc. Now I can't tell the difference ... feet

tucked either way feel almost the same and certainly not uncomfortable

either side....this IS almost 19 years later ... but it was within a few

months that I had relief from my back pain ... and the journey continued ...

and continues.

(2) I'm not ready (3) I can't do it ~ Yogi Bhajan

I do have an interesting case of scoliosis that begins in my 5th lumbar. I

see I chiropractor regularly to stay pain free. They have said it is

irreversible.
