Jesus Delivered Us (5) (audio) David Eells – 7/16/25 Saints, I want to point out to you that if you want deliverance from any demon, do not put the responsibility for the sin upon the demon. What did Peter say to Ananias and Sapphira? (Act.5:3) … Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit …? Was Peter blaming the lying spirit, or was he blaming Ananias? Some people have demons they inherited through the bloodline (Exodus 20:5, 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9), but we are born in sin. Psa 51:5  Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.  If you have a demon because of what you have done, guess what? You are still guilty. The Bible does not let you get off without being guilty. So the solution is 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins (not the demons sins), he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (Pro.26:2) As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not. See, there are people who just run from ministry to ministry looking for somebody to give them deliverance, but they will not first repent. They think all they need is deliverance, but God says they need to repent, because you can get delivered of anything and everything if you repent and believe. So there may be things you have never been delivered of yet, but God's plan is to deliver you from lusts of the flesh and demon spirits that take advantage of them. Let's look at some Old Testament types and shadows about delivering the Promised Land that show us the way God leads us from the time we come to know Him. This “house,” your body, is supposed to be ruled over by the spiritual man, and for that to happen, the carnal man who lives in your house has to be driven out and killed. This is a type of taking the Promised Land. Those Israelites represent the spiritual man, and those Canaanites represent the carnal man. God told them the Canaanites had to be driven out and killed, and the Israelites had to live in their houses. God said in (Deu.7:2) And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them. And He also commanded, (Exo.23:33) They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods (demons), it will surely be a snare unto thee. You see, if you leave one of the lusts of the flesh in your land, it is going to cause you to sin, so don't leave them and don't bow down to their gods. (Exo.23:20) Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. By the way, you have an angel, too, as the Bible says in (Heb.1:14) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? These spirits are with us to bring us into this salvation that Jesus provided. Exodus 23 is an exact parallel. (Exo.23:21) Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him. God's Name, which is His Nature, Character, and Authority, is in those angels. His Nature is so strong in them that they are perfect prophets for the Lord, and when an angel speaks to you, he speaks to you with the Voice of God. In the Book of Acts, Stephen said it was an angel who spoke out of the burning bush to Moses. (Acts 7:30) And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. An angel spoke to Moses with the Voice of God. (Exo.23:22) But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; (We see the Lord is speaking, but it is the angel's voice.) then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies. If you obey His Voice, He will be an enemy to your enemies. If you do not obey His Voice, He is not going to be an enemy to your enemies. You may run around everywhere looking for your deliverance from flesh and spirit, but you will fail when you are not obeying His Voice. (Exo.23:23) For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off. These are the original inhabitants of the land. They represent the lusts of the flesh that live in our Promised Land right here, and the Lord is going to lead us to sanctification from every one of these lusts. Each group of these original inhabitants represents the old man ruled over by demon gods with matching specialties and each of their names has a meaning. “Canaanite” means “to bend the knee, to humiliate, to subdue.” “Amorite” means “prominent,” and of course, one of the evils of the flesh is pride. “Hittite” means “terror, fear.” There are many different kinds of demons of fear, and God wants to deliver us from all kinds of fear. Your flesh fears many things; you could have a fear of rejection or a fear of heights and so on. “Perizzite” means “to separate.” Think about it; religions separate from religions and nations separate from nations. Factions separate. When religions separate from each other, it's “sectarianism,” which Paul listed among works of the flesh. (Gal.5:19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these:] fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, (21) envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like… Paul called them “lusts of the flesh”; we call them “denominations.” And countries naturally have a bias toward the people who live in their nation, but we are not supposed to be divided from Christians anywhere in the world. We are a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). We are “one man in Christ Jesus.” (Gal.3:28) There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. That means a Christian over in Russia is my brother; I am not going to fight for America to kill a Christian over in Russia, or anywhere else. It is wrong! This is worldly thinking and we need to understand that Jesus said, (Joh.18:36) My kingdom is not of this world… We are one holy nation, so no matter where on earth we are living, we are supposed to be a part of (Heb.12:22) … the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. “Jebus” was the old name for Jerusalem, and it's interesting that “Jebusite” means “trodden down.” The Bible says that Jerusalem will be “trodden down.” (Luk.21:24) Jerusalem will be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Revelation 11 talks about the outer court being trodden down. (Rev.11:2) And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Jesus told us in (Mat.5:13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. It's the old Jerusalem, not the New Jerusalem, who is going to be trodden down. Old, unregenerate Jerusalem was Jebus. They were trodden down that New Jerusalem could take their place. Going on in (Exo.23:24) Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works… Notice two things in this verse: “their gods” and “their works.” If you live after the lusts of your flesh, that is your works, and if you “bow down to their gods,” then you're being ruled by demons. It says in (1Co.10:20) But [I say,] that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. You see, every one of the lusts of the flesh has a demon spirit that rules over it. Jesus Christ sowed a Seed in us to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit, but the demons have sown other seeds in mankind. They have sown seeds of anger, seeds of lust, and seeds of rebellion, and the flesh has been bringing forth what is called the “lusts” of the flesh, which is another way of saying “fruit” of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21; 2 Peter 2:10-19). Demons are the ones who sowed the seeds that have brought this forth. They are the gods of the lusts of the flesh and God commanded us to kill them and not to serve their gods. (Exo.23:33) They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. He is talking about marching through this Promised Land, and putting to death, one by one, the lusts of the flesh. And He is talking about not submitting, not bowing down, to their gods. If you are throwing out their “flesh,” you are throwing out the demon gods' power. If you simply throw out the demon gods and hold on to the flesh, they will be back. We are this Promised Land that has to be sanctified. The word “sanctified” means “separated from sin, separated from the curse, and separated unto God.” As God led the Israelites through their Promised Land and they put to death the original inhabitants with a physical sword, so we are led of the Holy Spirit through our promised land to put to death the lusts of the flesh with the “sword” of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. (Heb.4:12) For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. And it is two-edged because one edge is for you. We are commanded to Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Col.3:5) The devil fears you if you know your authority and you are walking with God. Now, what about casting out demons from the lost? Are we authorized to do that? One time, I had been asking God about casting demons out of my mother. She had come to live with us in our house, but she didn't know the Lord. Most people do not know you need permission from God to cast demons out of a lost person, but it's biblical. (Luk.11:24) The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. (25) And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. (26) Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. You see, the lost person will get them seven times worse if you cast the demons out without the person turning to God. There are “loopholes” in the Bible, and so I asked God for permission to cast the demons out of my mother on the basis that my house is not cursed, but she was in my house and bringing me under a curse. I asked, “God, I am not under the curse. Can I cast the demons out of her because she is bringing a curse upon me?” God gave my daughter Jennifer a dream that night. She saw my mother's house in the middle of my house, except it was three stories tall, sticking out of the top of my house. Out of the second floor, representing the soul, there was a plank leading out to the street. Five chickens, representing unclean spirits, were on it and they were walking the plank to the street. Well, I knew exactly what the Lord was saying. That night, Mama, full of demons, came to our bedroom door and her demons threatened us, “I am going to keep you awake all night!” I said, “Oh no you're not!” My wife and I jumped up and went into her room, and as we stood there, God gave us five spirits to cast out. We didn't even wait to see them come out. We just commanded, “Come out in the Name of Jesus!” as fast as we could name them. Then we marched out, went back to bed, and slept peacefully all night. The next day, we noticed that it was awfully quiet in that room. Not knowing what was going on, we opened the door and peeked in to see that her room was a total mess. And there was my mother, crawling out from under the bed! She had been wrestling in there with something all night long, but when she came out, she was humble, meek, and submissive. I never knew my mother to be that kind of person. She had been demon-possessed all of her life; she had been taking medication all of her life to keep those demons in subjection. Her “religion” had kept her from turning to God when she had the opportunity, but as long as she was in my house, we had peace. When the demons started drifting back, the Lord took her out of my house. As she was dying she returned to peace. There are several reasons why God will give deliverance to the lost, and we should read the Bible like a lawyer because God put loopholes in there so you can step through them sometimes. Another great loophole that the Lord showed me is that if somebody is a blessing to you, you can be a blessing to them. It does not matter if they are lost. We have the example of when Paul was shipwrecked on Melita and the natives of the island came to the rescue. They were very kind to Paul and the others who were cold and wet. The natives dried their clothes and got them out of the rain (Acts 28:1-2). (Act.28:7) Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously. (8) And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him. He never preached the Gospel to him; he just healed him. Then they brought all the sick people on the island to Paul. He prayed for them and God healed them. (Act.28:9) And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured. You do not see this elsewhere in the Bible because “healing is the children's bread” (Matthew 15:26), so I asked, “Why is this, Lord?” The Lord answered, “They were kind to them.” God will let you pray for somebody and heal them because they were good to you. He said, (Gen.12:3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. This is talking about us; we are the “Israelites.” There's one loophole, too, that's the mercy of God. The demoniac described in the Gospels was so far gone that you could not expect the man to have faith or make a rational decision, and Jesus cast the demons out of him, knowing what kind of decision he was going to make afterward (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39). Sometimes God does this, but He does not have to do it. Now let me share with you the following testimony: Delivered from Scoliosis by D. M. My brother-in-law once bought me a book by Henry W. Wright entitled “A More Excellent Way: A Teaching on the Spiritual Roots of Disease.” I found the book to be fascinating and, as the British say, “spot-on” in many ways. (There is definitely a connection between a sin and its curse. Quite often, a sickness can identify the sin.) I have a good friend named “A” whom I've known since I was saved. We have conversed via phone for years, since we live in different states. A couple of years ago, he mentioned that he'd had scoliosis since childhood. I didn't say anything to him, but I went to Henry Wright's book and looked up what he had to say about scoliosis. I kept this to myself because I didn't feel right bringing it up to “A.” I knew the time would come as the Lord gave me freedom to do so. Today, I received an email from “A” asking me to pray for him for deliverance from a particular sin. He did not go into detail but gave me a hint. I replied that I would pray for him in a moment. But first I wanted to know when his scoliosis had begun, and if, in fact, it had begun about the time of his traumatic incident. He replied back that it did begin right afterwards. I decided to give him a call. We talked. He made a full confession of the incident. I quoted (Jas.5:16) Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. And I told him that there was now nothing in the way of his deliverance. I prayed over the phone with him in agreement. Glory be to God, a hundred-pound weight came off my friend and he was delivered from the evil spirit of scoliosis and was healed! Awesome! Praise the Lord! Saints, we need to be led of the Spirit and wait for the Lord's leading so He can open the way for us to minister to others. Here's another testimony I'd like to share with you. Delivered from Lung Cancer by Linda L. (This lady was healed of a spirit of cancer when I for the brethren in our meeting rebuked it, although she was not present at that meeting. She related to us how, later that same night, what looked like smoke came out of her nose and she knew she was healed. Please note that she had faith to be healed.) My doctor's office called to tell me I had an inconsistency on my chest x-ray. I needed to go to the hospital for another x-ray. The second x-ray was not any better than the first. A CT scan was ordered. The suspicious spot was a ten-centimeter (approximately two inches) sized nodule in the upper right lobe. That night after numerous internet searches, I was devastated to learn that most nodules are malignant. My father had died of lung cancer in 1998. I am very familiar with the disease. At this point I started to do a lot of praying. Even though I knew Jesus heard my prayer, I did not have peace yet. My doctor sent me to a pulmonary specialist. The first thing Dr. Wagner told me was that I was not to worry. The surgeon would remove my lobe. I would not have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation. He started to ask questions about health, lifestyle, etc., and we talked more. He decided to wait and repeat the CT scan in two months. At this point, I told Dr. Wagner that God would heal me. He did not say anything, but I am sure he thought I was deluded. I am a very reserved person. I usually do not share information of this nature with many people. However, the Holy Spirit prompted me to tell Dr. Wagner how Jesus would heal my lung. When I saw Bob, a UBM elder, I told him my predicament. And as we talked, I asked his group to pray for my healing. Jesus would heal me. This was a Tuesday. I did not see Bob during the week, but I KNOW his prayer group prayed for me. A peace beyond all understanding came over me Saturday night. During the middle of the night, I saw an evil spirit leave my lungs! I KNEW I was healed. The next month arrived. It was time to repeat the CT scan. The doctor at the Imaging Center observed the entire scan. He reported the nodule was starting to calcify. In his opinion the nodule was now benign. Tears and praise flowed, as Jesus had healed me. Dr. Wagner told me I was one lucky lady. I reminded him that Jesus would heal me. The doctor did not acknowledge anything yet, but he knows that this healing from a deadly lung nodule was a miracle. Jesus hears our prayers and heals those who ask and have faith. He knows our pain. He honors His commitment to us when we believe Him and the works of His hands. Amen! That's so true! Praise You, Lord! Let's look at this parable in the Old Testament, how God delivers us. The Lord says in (Exo.23:27) I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. (28) And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. You know, it's easy to win a battle when your enemy is afraid, and making your enemy fearful is a proven strategy of warfare. There have been great battles won by very small armies against very large armies, all because fear was in the larger army. This happened to Israel in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War when Arabs attacked them from all sides. Israel won overwhelming victories against all odds because God put fear in the hearts of their enemies. It's a quick battle when the enemy is fearful. Only God is able to do this! He did this in many places in the Scriptures, giving the Israelites tremendous victories. We have a good example where they sent spies into the Promised Land to understand their enemies' thinking. (Jos.2:1) And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there… (8) And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; (9) and she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. (10) For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt… Going through the Red Sea was their salvation experience. Guess who knows immediately about our salvation experience? Demon spirits. They know who we are, but the problem is not that they know; the problem is, do we know? This is why we need to study the Scriptures; it's important that we find out who we are. Unless we know who we are, demon spirits can, and do, take advantage of us, but when you know who you are according to Scripture, the demons are fearful. In the dream that the Lord gave my daughter, the Lord had a sense of humor because He pictured the five demons as five chickens. Our enemies know that they cannot keep us from taking our land. (Jos.2:10) For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. (11) And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath. All of these verses are types and shadows of our enemies being fearful of us. (Jos.1:5) There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (6) Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. (7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. (8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Spiritually speaking, the Lord is talking about taking this “land” in which we live, taking this land of the soul, which is our mind, our will, and our emotions. God says, (Exo.23:29) I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee. From this example, we see that it is not God's plan to purify us instantly, but almost every Christian religion teaches some form of “instantaneous sanctification.” They say all you need to do is get saved and you're sanctified. A number of them also believe that you're automatically filled with the Holy Spirit. In other words, there's a line you just step over and that's all there is to it; then you can sit down and take it easy. No, we can never sit down and take it easy because we have a land to conquer. God goes on to say, (Exo.23:30) By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. “Little by little” is God's plan. People who have their “instantaneous sanctification” theology do not understand that sanctification is when you are delivered of all the lusts of the flesh to the point where you're not even going to be tempted anymore. The ultimate end of sanctification is when the flesh is dead. We can all think of things in our lives from which God delivered us. They do not even tempt us anymore because that flesh is dead, but God wants to continue that process until He goes through all of our “Promised Land.” God wants to lead you to your enemy, give you the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), and put the fear of God in you (Psalms 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; etc.) He wants to give you understanding to know that you have victory through the Gospel and through the Blood of Jesus. So the Lord said, (Exo.23:22) But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. But He also says, (Exo.23:29) I will not drive them out from before thee in one year… and (Exo.23:30) By little and little I will drive them out from before thee… Well, the people of Israel did not “hearken unto his voice” to do all that the Lord spoke. We read in (Jdg.21:25) In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. (Jdg.2:20) And the anger of The Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; (21) I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died; (22) that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of The Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. (23) So the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. If you break God's Covenant, He is not going to do a quick work of delivering your enemies into your hand. The Blood is our weapon to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The New Testament says, (1Jn.1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Blood cleanses as we walk in the light and as we obey what we know to obey. We cannot do anything about what we do not know, but as we do what we know to obey, the Blood cleanses. These “lusts of the flesh” and their “gods,” which have the same names, have to be driven out. Every lust of the flesh has a “god.” It's the demon spirit, having the same name, that rules over that particular lust. God said He is not going to be in a hurry to drive out your enemies if you are going to rebel. The Bible says in (Luk.12:48) And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required. If you do something with what God gives you, He will give you more, but if you do not do something with what He has already given you, He is not going to give you anymore. You're going to stop right in your tracks because God is a merciful God. Otherwise, you would be condemned for not doing even more, and so when you stop doing something with your Sword against your enemy, God is going to stop. God does not flood us with knowledge of our every evil. He leads us to each individual evil, step-by-step, and He expects us, at that point and time, to do something about it. If He were to just flood our minds with the knowledge of all of the evil in us, we would be overwhelmed and probably lose faith. And if we didn't do something with all that knowledge, we would be condemned. When you have a lot of knowledge, Scripture warns us, (Jas.4:17) To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. When you have a lot of knowledge, yet do nothing, you have a lot of sin. God brings these enemies up, one at a time, in front of our face. This usually occurs through temptation, through something happening around us. When He brings these enemies up in front of our face, we have an opportunity to use the Sword to come against that enemy. We can reject that lust of the flesh and command it to go in the Name of Jesus. If there is any demon spirit in our flesh, or if there is any demon spirit using that lust of the flesh to exercise authority in our soul, we can come against it, and we can win right there. We do not have to live with these demons all of our lives or go searching for some deliverance ministry, because we have authority over demon spirits and the flesh (Matthew 28:18-19; Luke 10:19; etc.) We're told, (Rom.6:11) Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. This is what we have to believe. We are dead unto sin, but alive unto God. We have total authority over the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Canaanites, and so forth. We have total authority over them and their gods. Every one of us can learn to exercise our Sword, the Word, against the lusts of the flesh and those spirits. We don't have to live with them anymore, but God is only going to continue this process as long as we cooperate. We are here to conquer our Promised Land, and there's no time for us to rest in the flesh. Our rest is in the Spirit. Our rest is in the promises of God. We can safely rest in His Word. The quicker we submit to him and resist the devil, the quicker we win. It says in (Psa.81:10) I am the Lord thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt (He delivered you from the power of the old man at the Red Sea baptism.): Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. That is, “Say what I say,” speak as an oracle of God (1 Peter 4:11). And (11) But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me. (12) So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. (13) Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! (14) I would soon subdue their enemies (If we obey and fight the enemy, we will “soon” win.), And turn my hand against their adversaries. And they will be conquered. (15) The haters of the Lord should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever. (16) He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee. It's our obedience that brings the blessings. Remember, we are to be vigilant when we are in a trial because it's our opportunity to come against that particular enemy in our Promised Land and win. God brought us to this enemy for us to conquer it, and to do it now. This is why we are here. He has given us total authority over that enemy. There is no such thing as a “giant” in our Promised Land since even the least of us has total authority over the mightiest demon that comes into contact with us. God is walking with you. You need to realize that He wants your enemies to be conquered here and now, day by day, little by little. (Psa.81:11) But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me. (12) So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels. You see, if you're resting in the flesh, rather than resting in the Spirit, then you are not doing anything. We are here to redeem the time and to win a battle. (Eph.5:15) Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; (16) redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (17) Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. What is His Will for us if we walk in His ways? (Psa.81:13) Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! (14) I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. You may say, “Well, David, that's exactly my problem, walking in His ways,” but there is always a step you can take, however small it may be. If He makes us responsible to walk in His ways, then we can walk in the light. (1Jn.1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. We can take those steps. (Pro.4:18) But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day. You can take one step at a time, and God will be with you each step.

Is Scoliosis Hereditary? Exploring the Genetic Link and Why It May Not Matter for Treatment Receiving a scoliosis diagnosis often sparks a cascade of questions:“How did I get this?”“Did I inherit it?”“What can I do about it?” In this episode of the Scoliosis Treatment podcast, Dr. Tony Nalda breaks down one of the most common concerns—whether scoliosis is hereditary—and explains why discovering the “why” may not always impact how we treat the condition. Family History vs. Genetic Cause Patients frequently share that scoliosis “runs in the family.” But does that mean it's genetic? Dr. Nalda explains that scoliosis tends to cluster in families, but no single gene has ever been definitively linked to idiopathic scoliosis. Even identical twins—who share the exact same DNA—may have different outcomes, with one developing scoliosis and the other not. This strongly suggests that while there may be hereditary tendencies, scoliosis is not directly caused by genetics alone. Different Types of Scoliosis (And Their Causes) To understand where heredity may play a role, it's important to look at the four main types of scoliosis: Idiopathic Scoliosis Makes up 80% of cases Cause: Unknown (idiopathic) Most often seen in adolescents Believed to be multifactorial, possibly involving environmental, developmental, and minor genetic influences Neuromuscular Scoliosis Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy, Marfan syndrome, or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome More likely to have a genetic or systemic origin Congenital Scoliosis Present at birth due to malformed vertebrae (e.g., hemivertebra) Truly genetic/developmental in nature Degenerative or Traumatic Scoliosis Caused by injury or wear and tear Often appears in adulthood Not hereditary—these result from physical changes over time Why “Cause” Doesn't Always Change the Outcome Dr. Nalda uses a powerful analogy: “If an earthquake causes a building to collapse, we may study the cause—but the most urgent need is to rebuild the structure.” Similarly, scoliosis—regardless of the cause—becomes a structural problem that must be corrected. Many cases are diagnosed long after the original cause (if any) occurred, and chasing the “why” doesn't usually change how the curve affects the spine today. Can Idiopathic Scoliosis Be Treated Without Knowing the Cause? Yes.Dr. Nalda emphasizes that effective scoliosis treatment doesn't depend on knowing the exact cause. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, idiopathic cases are treated with a multimodal approach, including: Scoliosis-specific chiropractic care Customized physical therapy and rehab Scoliosis-specific exercises Corrective bracing These strategies focus on correcting the structural changes in the spine—not just the symptoms—and help stop curve progression over time. Bottom Line: Focus on the Solution, Not Just the Source While the question "Is scoliosis hereditary?" is understandable, the better question might be: What can I do now to manage it? Whether the root is genetic, environmental, or unknown, scoliosis can be treated effectively—especially when addressed early and proactively.

Show Notes: A Second Chance - Margie's Journey with Late-Onset Scoliosis From Gardening to Diagnosis to Life-Changing ResultsAs featured on the Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda podcast Discovering the Unexpected For Margie, a day in the garden turned into a wake-up call. What she assumed was a pulled muscle from overexertion turned out to be something far more serious. When her daughter noticed visible swelling on one side of her lower back, Margie sought answers—and what she found changed the course of her life. Following an evaluation by a scoliosis specialist, Margie received a surprising diagnosis: a 45-degree lumbar scoliosis curve. Like many adult scoliosis cases, her condition had gone unnoticed until it began to visibly affect her posture and daily comfort. The initial recommendation was a soft brace meant to reduce pressure—but Margie knew she needed a more effective solution. A Turning Point: Meeting Dr. Tony Nalda Margie's search led her to the Scoliosis Reduction Center and the care of Dr. Tony Nalda. As Dr. Nalda explains, scoliosis in adults—particularly in its later stages—can progress rapidly, sometimes by 10 degrees or more per year. This swift progression can severely affect posture, mobility, and overall health if left unchecked. During Margie's evaluation, Dr. Nalda identified a major oversight: while her scoliosis had been diagnosed, an advanced 79-degree kyphosis (an excessive forward rounding of the upper back) had been completely ignored. Left untreated, this would have continued to compromise Margie's posture and overall function. Customized, Conservative Care That Works Margie began an intensive, customized treatment plan that included spinal traction, corrective bracing, and home rehabilitation exercises. The results were dramatic. Her lumbar curve was reduced from 45 to 39 degrees, and her kyphosis improved from 79 to 67 degrees—restoring function, posture, and hope. Unlike traditional soft braces that simply squeeze the spine, Margie's new brace was designed to guide her spine into correction without discomfort. Combined with personalized home care, it offered her a new path forward. “I can tell the big difference in the way I feel. He's decreased my curve by a whole lot. My posture has improved. I'm just thrilled. And I plan on doing what he tells me to do to keep it up.” – Margie Why Early, Proactive Treatment Matters Dr. Nalda emphasizes that every severe curve was once a small one—and that age is not a barrier to improvement. In fact, adult patients often show some of the best results because they're highly committed to getting better. While younger patients have the advantage of growth, adults can still see major benefits when scoliosis is addressed proactively and conservatively. Treating the spine early helps avoid the need for more invasive solutions, like spinal fusion surgery. Take the First Step Toward Hope and Healing If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with scoliosis—or suspects they may have it—there are effective, non-surgical options available. Margie's story is proof that it's never too late to take control of your spine and reclaim your life.

In this episode of The Time Management Podcast, I share my personal story of being diagnosed with scoliosis age 16, undergoing two major spinal surgeries age 19, and what this journey has taught me about time, resilience, and the pressure to be "normal." Since June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, it felt like the right time to finally share this story. In this episode we talked about: The mindset shift from diagnosis to decision. How scoliosis shaped my life, career, and daily routines. The impact of societal expectations around "fitting in." The hidden costs of trying to be “normal.” Neurodivergence, inclusion, and the importance of self-advocacy. Practical tips for advocating for your health and your needs. Homework for You: What have you overcome that shaped who you are today? What are you not appreciating about yourself right now?

In this fun and informative episode of The Health Commute, we shine a spotlight on Scoliosis Awareness Month and explore why everyone—not just those with scoliosis—should be moving with more intention. Inspired by the stiff, hip-hinging movements of a Lego person, we break down how proper movement patterns like hip hinging can protect your spine, reduce injury, and support long-term back health. Whether you're lifting groceries, tying your shoes, or working out, your spine deserves smart movement. We explain the importance of avoiding flexion through the lower back and why moving from the hips is a simple but powerful concept to improve posture, function, and comfort—especially for those with scoliosis or spinal instability. Scoliosis or not, learning to "move like a Lego person" is one of the best things you can do for your back.

Scoliosis impacts far more people than we realize. Dr. Tony Nalda explains the different sources of scoliosis that impact both children and adults. The population of people with scoliosis increases as age increases, that means many of us will be facing scoliosis in the future if not already living with it.Dr. Nalda explains the options we have to stop the curvature from increasing and even reducing the degree of the curve. We also discuss the traditional diagnosis and treatment options most doctors are operating under and why these options need to change to help prevent surgery. This is important because one small change could be significant in our level of pain we experience but not necessarily produce a degree of curve for traditional treatment. Dr. Tony Nalda is the leader of the Scoliosis Reduction Center®.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: From Pain to Play – Scott's Adult Scoliosis Recovery Story Episode Summary: What happens when scoliosis shows up later in life? In this inspiring episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we follow Scott's journey—an active father who suddenly found himself sidelined by back pain, only to discover it was due to undiagnosed scoliosis. Through focused, non-surgical treatment at the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Scott not only regained function but dramatically reduced his curves—proving that with the right mindset and commitment, healing is possible at any age. What You'll Learn: ✅ Scoliosis Isn't Just for Teens Adult scoliosis can develop or worsen due to compression and gravity Unlike kids, adults often experience pain even with smaller curves ✅ Why Maintenance Care Isn't Enough General chiropractic may ease discomfort but doesn't correct the curve Structural change requires scoliosis-specific, multi-dimensional treatment ✅ Scott's Transformation Started with four curves ranging from 15–30° Reduced all four curves to under 10° after just two treatment intensives Regained abilities like lifting his kids, shooting hoops, and playing soccer again ✅ The Power of Commitment The key to success? Consistency and dedication Age isn't the barrier—effort and follow-through are Dr. Nalda emphasizes that adult patients can see incredible results when they follow the plan Key Takeaway: Scoliosis doesn't have to define your limits. With personalized care, the right guidance, and commitment, even adult scoliosis can be improved—without surgery. Resources & Links:

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Do Spine Stretches Work for Scoliosis? Episode Summary: Stretching can feel like a natural response to tightness and discomfort—but for scoliosis patients, not all stretches are created equal. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we dive into the question: Do spinal stretches actually help scoliosis? You'll learn the difference between improving flexibility and achieving structural correction, why stretching the wrong way can do more harm than good, and how to safely support your spine through scoliosis-specific movement strategies. What You'll Learn: ✅ Stretching and Scoliosis: What's the Real Benefit? Stretching may help reduce pain and improve flexibility But stretching alone won't reduce scoliosis curves, because scoliosis is a structural condition ✅ Understanding Spinal Rigidity in Scoliosis As the spine curves, asymmetrical muscle tension develops Tight muscles often serve a protective role, stabilizing the spine against progression Loosening the wrong muscles may actually accelerate curve progression ✅ Best vs. Worst Stretches for Scoliosis Patients✔️ Best: Stretches customized to your specific curve pattern Prescribed by scoliosis-trained professionals Combined with strengthening exercises to balance asymmetries ❌ Worst: Generalized or symmetrical stretches Compressive movements Stretches that pull on the curve in the wrong direction ✅ Why Generic Stretches Can Be Harmful Many scoliosis curves require asymmetrical treatment Stretching without understanding your curve type can worsen symptoms or deformity True improvement often comes from a multimodal program including: Stretching Therapy Rehab Corrective bracing ✅ What Should You Do Instead? Seek out a scoliosis specialist who can guide you through a safe, effective program Don't aim for “symmetry” at all costs—aim for balance based on your unique curve Use stretches as a supportive tool, not a standalone solution Key Takeaway: Stretching may relieve discomfort, but only scoliosis-specific exercises—prescribed by trained professionals—can truly support spinal health and structural change. Avoid generic programs and focus on personalized care that addresses your spine's three-dimensional complexity. Resources & Links:

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What Are the Different Types of Scoliosis? Episode Summary: Not all scoliosis is the same. While a diagnosis of “scoliosis” can sound straightforward, the type, cause, location, and severity of the curve make a huge difference in how it should be treated. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the different types of scoliosis, what causes them, and how these distinctions impact treatment decisions. If you or a loved one has been told, "You have scoliosis," this episode is essential for understanding what that truly means—and why personalized care is key to long-term success. Key Topics Covered: ✅ How Scoliosis Is Diagnosed: Defined as a sideways spinal curve of 10° or more, with rotation Measured using a Cobb angle on spinal X-rays Severity Categories: Mild: 10–25° Moderate: 25–40° Severe: 40°+ Very Severe: 80°+ ✅ Types of Scoliosis Based on Cause: Idiopathic Scoliosis (80% of cases): No clear cause; most common form Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most typical subtype Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Secondary to conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or tethered cord Often linked to poor muscle tone or connective tissue dysfunction Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by malformations during fetal development, such as hemivertebrae Degenerative (De Novo) Scoliosis: Develops later in life due to asymmetrical spinal degeneration, often from old injuries or unresolved misalignments Traumatic Scoliosis: Caused by a severe injury, such as a fall or accident ✅ Types of Scoliosis Based on Curve Location: Cervical (Neck) Thoracic (Mid-Back) Lumbar (Lower Back) Thoracolumbar (Transitional Area) Multi-curve presentations such as double major or cervicothoracic scoliosis ✅ Why Curve Type and Cause Matter in Treatment: Treatment plans must consider: Causation (neuromuscular, congenital, idiopathic, etc.) Curve location Severity at diagnosis Age and growth stage These factors help determine whether a patient would benefit most from: Chiropractic-based conservative treatment Bracing Specialized exercises Therapy tailored to their unique curve pattern Key Takeaways: ➡️ Saying "you have scoliosis" is too vague—type, cause, and location all affect treatment strategy.➡️ Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common, but other types like neuromuscular or degenerative require very different approaches.➡️ Every scoliosis curve has the potential to progress—that's why addressing the structural problem early is essential.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, treatment plans are built around each patient's specific curve and contributing factors.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Avoiding Surgery – Bianca's Scoliosis Success Story Episode Summary: When Bianca was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age, she was initially told that surgery was her only option. With a 65-degree spinal curve, multiple doctors recommended spinal fusion. However, through intensive scoliosis care and dedicated home exercises, Bianca was able to reduce her curve to 45 degrees, avoiding invasive surgery altogether. In this inspiring episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, Bianca shares her personal journey—how scoliosis affected her daily life, the difficult decision to reject surgery, and how conservative scoliosis treatment helped her take control of her health. Dr. Nalda also explains why scoliosis is not just an injury, but a developmental condition that requires specialized treatment beyond traditional chiropractic care. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Early Scoliosis Detection – How school screenings helped Bianca catch her scoliosis early. ✅ The Traditional Approach to Severe Scoliosis (Surgery Recommendation): Orthopedic surgeons recommend surgery for curves over 45 degrees, especially in growing children. Spinal fusion can lead to stiffness and chronic pain, affecting quality of life. ✅ Why Conservative Scoliosis Treatment Works: Intensive therapy can halt progression and reduce the curve naturally. Customized exercises, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation helped Bianca improve her spine alignment. ✅ Avoiding Surgery with Hard Work & Commitment: Bianca's curve reduced from 65 to 45 degrees through consistent treatment. Daily 30-minute home exercises helped maintain and further improve her progress. ✅ The Role of Lifestyle & Posture in Scoliosis Progression: Playing the banjo put asymmetrical weight on her spine, potentially influencing her curve. Understanding postural habits can help prevent worsening over time. ✅ Bianca's Passion for Music & Overcoming Challenges: Bianca and her sister have turned their struggles into music, releasing an album titled "Growing Wings". Their song "Limitless" is about pushing past obstacles and achieving goals—a message that resonates with anyone facing challenges like scoliosis. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Scoliosis is NOT just an injury—it's a progressive, developmental condition that requires specialized treatment. ➡️ Surgery is not the only option, even for severe cases—dedicated scoliosis care can significantly reduce curves. ➡️ Early intervention leads to better results, but even larger curves can be improved with the right approach. ➡️ Hard work now means better long-term health—Bianca chose a proactive approach over a quick fix and is healthier because of it.

Welcome back to another Thyroid Thursday episode on the She Talks Health podcast! Today, we're addressing a listener's question about the potential risks of osteoporosis and scoliosis in individuals with low thyroid function or hypothyroidism. To help answer this question, I share some of my personal insights on how thyroid hormones like T3 and T4 impact bone metabolism. We'll explore how both under-treatment and over-treatment of thyroid conditions can affect bone health, which could to an increased risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, I discuss the potential impacts of hypothyroidism on bone growth during adolescence and the importance of mineral balancing for overall bone health. For those interested in assessing and supporting their bone health through nutritional and lifestyle adjustments, I always recommend the hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test to get deeper insights into your overall health.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What is Rotoscoliosis? Understanding Rotation in Scoliosis Episode Summary: Many patients diagnosed with scoliosis are told they have rotoscoliosis, but what does that really mean? In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, how rotation impacts the spine, and why some cases have more severe twisting than others. Dr. Nalda also discusses the challenges of measuring spinal rotation, common symptoms of rotoscoliosis, and the best treatment strategies to address all three dimensions of the condition—bending, translation, and rotation—for the best long-term outcomes. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Rotoscoliosis? – A type of scoliosis where spinal rotation is more pronounced. ✅ Understanding the Three-Dimensional Nature of Scoliosis: Bending (Sideways Curve) – The most commonly recognized scoliosis feature. Rotation (Twisting of the Spine) – Causes rib and posture asymmetries. Translation (Shifting of the Spine) – Further misaligns posture and gait. ✅ How Does Rotation Impact Scoliosis? Rotation almost always occurs into the concavity of the curve. The larger the curve, the greater the degree of rotation in most cases. More rotation = more complexity in treatment and posture correction. ✅ Why Rotation is Difficult to Measure: Unlike Cobb angle (which measures curve severity), rotation is difficult to quantify accurately. Current assessments rely on visual evaluation rather than precise measurements. ✅ Symptoms of Rotoscoliosis: Uneven hips, shoulders, rib arches, and waist. Clothes not fitting properly due to asymmetrical body structure. Gait and coordination changes caused by spinal misalignment. ✅ Best Treatment Approach for Rotoscoliosis: Comprehensive, 3D-focused scoliosis care that addresses bending, translation, and rotation. Specialized therapy, traction, exercises, and bracing to reduce spinal misalignment. Why focusing only on curve reduction without addressing rotation can lead to instability in long-term correction. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Rotoscoliosis is simply scoliosis with a higher degree of rotation—making treatment more complex but manageable.➡️ Rotation often develops first, before the curve, making early detection crucial.➡️ Scoliosis treatment must address all three dimensions of the condition to achieve lasting correction.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer specialized programs designed to correct bending, translation, and rotation for the best possible results.

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the different types of scoliosis braces and their effectiveness in treatment. Many patients wonder which brace is easiest to wear under clothing, but the real question is: Which brace actually works to correct scoliosis? Dr. Nalda explains the differences between traditional bracing (Boston brace, Providence brace) and corrective bracing (ScoliBrace), and why modern bracing methods not only slow down scoliosis progression but actually reduce the curve. If you or a loved one is considering bracing as part of scoliosis treatment, this episode will help you make an informed decision. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Two Approaches to Scoliosis Treatment: Traditional Treatment (Reactive) – Focuses on preventing further progression but does not reduce the curve. Conservative Treatment (Proactive) – Works to actively reduce the curve and prevent future complications. ✅ Traditional Braces (Boston & Providence Brace): Designed to hold the curve in place rather than improve it. Uses two-dimensional compression, which can worsen rib deformities and be uncomfortable. Compliance issues due to discomfort and lack of visible results. ✅ Corrective Bracing (ScoliBrace): Uses three-dimensional correction, reducing the scoliosis curve instead of just stabilizing it. Custom-designed for each patient using 3D scanning and CAD-CAM technology. Easier to wear, more comfortable, and fits better under clothing. 95% compliance rate because patients see visible improvements, making them more likely to wear the brace. ✅ Why Compliance is Crucial for Bracing Success: Braces must be worn 18+ hours per day for maximum effectiveness. If a brace is uncomfortable or ineffective, patients are less likely to wear it. Corrective braces make compliance easier because they reduce the curve over time, making them more comfortable as treatment progresses. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Traditional braces (Boston, Providence) aim to hold the curve in place, but they do not correct scoliosis.➡️ Corrective braces (ScoliBrace) actively work to reduce the scoliosis curve while improving posture and comfort.➡️ A properly designed, custom brace is easier to wear, fits better under clothing, and encourages better compliance.➡️ The best brace is the one that patients will actually wear—and ScoliBrace achieves that by delivering real results.

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the role of chiropractic care in scoliosis treatment. While traditional chiropractic adjustments can help manage pain and improve function, they are not designed to correct scoliosis. Dr. Nalda explains the differences between general and specialized scoliosis chiropractic care, highlighting the importance of a multi-modal approach that actively reduces the spinal curve rather than just treating symptoms. If you or a loved one has scoliosis and is considering chiropractic care, this episode will help you understand the right approach to scoliosis treatment and why a specialized program is necessary for long-term improvements. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Scoliosis? – Understanding scoliosis as a three-dimensional spinal condition involving bending, twisting, and structural misalignment. ✅ Can General Chiropractic Care Treat Scoliosis? – Why traditional chiropractic care helps with pain relief but does not stop curve progression. ✅ The Difference Between Traditional and Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care: Traditional Care: Low-dose, long-term adjustments focusing on pain relief. Scoliosis-Specific Care: High-dose, short-duration treatment (intensive care) aimed at reducing the curve. ✅ What Does Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care Involve? Spinal adjustments combined with therapy, rehabilitation, bracing, and exercises. A multi-modal approach designed to correct the scoliosis curve, not just manage symptoms. ✅ Why Watching and Waiting is Risky: Many orthopedic doctors take a passive approach, recommending observation until surgery becomes necessary. Meanwhile, gravity and daily stressors continue to worsen the curve, leading to a more severe condition over time. ✅ The Importance of Proactive Treatment – How early intervention with scoliosis-specific chiropractic care can reduce the curve, restore spinal function, and prevent long-term complications. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Chiropractic care can be effective for scoliosis—but only when part of a specialized, structured program.➡️ Traditional chiropractic adjustments alone do not correct scoliosis.➡️ An intensive, high-dose approach using adjustments, rehabilitation, and therapy can help reduce the scoliosis curve.➡️ Watching and waiting allows scoliosis to progress, making future treatment more difficult.

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down one of the most common diagnoses of scoliosis: moderate scoliosis. Dr. Nalda explains what moderate scoliosis means, how it's measured, and why taking a proactive approach to treatment is so important. From understanding the risks of progression during growth spurts to exploring different treatment methods, this episode equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about scoliosis care—whether for a child or as an adult. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Moderate Scoliosis? – Defined as a curve measuring 25-40 degrees using the Cobb angle. ✅ How Scoliosis Progresses – Why growth spurts (ages 11-13 for girls and 12-15 for boys) are critical, and why post menopause can also trigger progression in adults. ✅ Common Symptoms – Uneven shoulders, hips, rib changes, postural shifts, back pain (especially in adults), headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances. ✅ Traditional Treatment Options: Observation: “Watch and wait” approach, common but risky during growth phases. Bracing: Boston brace or nighttime brace, aimed at preventing worsening but not reducing the curve. Symptom Treatment for Adults: Medications, injections, or addressing secondary issues like digestive discomfort—without focusing on the curve itself. ✅ Functional Approach to Scoliosis Care: Focus on reducing the curve size and restoring spinal function to prevent progression and improve overall health. Why early intervention is key—especially in children—to achieve the best long-term results. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Moderate scoliosis can progress into severe scoliosis, especially during growth spurts or later in life. ➡️ Monitoring growth signs (e.g., pants getting shorter, shoes getting tight) is crucial for timely evaluation. ➡️ Reducing the curve—not just watching or bracing—gives the best chance of slowing progression and avoiding surgery later. ➡️ There's no benefit in waiting. Proactive, curve-focused treatment is always better than delaying care.

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the potential link between scoliosis and the immune system. While scoliosis is primarily a structural condition affecting the spine, emerging research suggests there may be indirect connections between scoliosis, inflammation, muscle remodeling, and immune function. Dr. Nalda breaks down these complex relationships and explains why addressing scoliosis proactively is key to supporting overall health and wellness. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Understanding Scoliosis – What makes scoliosis a 3D spinal condition, and why it tends to progress over time. ✅ How the Immune System Works – Your body's defense mechanism against infections, viruses, and disease. ✅ Is There a Direct Link Between Scoliosis and Immunity? – Current research on potential connections, particularly in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. ✅ Inflammation, Stress & Cortisol – How the physical and emotional stress of scoliosis may contribute to inflammation and affect immune health. ✅ Muscle Remodeling & Immune Cells – The relationship between scoliosis-related muscle changes and immune system response. ✅ Proactive Treatment Approach – Why structurally addressing scoliosis is essential, regardless of its underlying cause, to minimize its impact on overall health. Key Takeaways: ➡️ While no conclusive direct link exists between scoliosis and immune system dysfunction, research suggests inflammation, muscle remodeling, and stress may create indirect connections. ➡️ Scoliosis is multifactorial, meaning its causes vary widely, and the condition can impact the body beyond just the spine. ➡️ Proactive scoliosis treatment helps reduce spinal curvature, improve body function, and may indirectly support a healthier immune response.
