Podcasts about Scoliosis

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®. In addition to being a chiropractor, Dr. Nalda holds an Intensive Care Certification from CLEAR Institute, a leading scoliosis educational and certification center. He was also one of the very first doctors to receive World Masters Certification from ISICO, a certification that specializes in the conservative treatment and management of scoliosis. Dr. Nalda also holds certifications with SEAS (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis Accreditation Program), Gomez Orthodics, Chiropractic Biophysics, ScoliBrace, A Corrective 3D Scoliosis Bracing System, DMX (Digital Motion Xray), and Scolibalance® certification from ScoliCare®.Learn more at www.scoliosisreductioncenter.com and follow on Facebook @ScoliosisReductionCenter and YouTube @ScoliosisReductionCenter.

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.

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.

You'll also hear Dr. Morningstar shares his personal journey and evidence-based holistic approach, revealing practical strategies – from dietary shifts to targeted supplements – that go beyond traditional methods to address the whole scoliosis picture.  If you're living with scoliosis or another spinal condition like kyphosis or Scheuermann's, seeking a deeper understanding and potentially transformative solutions, this episode is a must-listen.Resources mentioned:COMT & MTHFR ArticleHow to find an integrative practitioner near youLearn more about Dr. Mark Mornigstar hereSchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis

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.

Podcast Episode Summary: Understanding the Connection Between Scoliosis and Hip Pain Episode Title: Scoliosis and Its Impact on Hip Pain: Insights from Dr. Tony Nalda Introduction: Welcome to "Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda." In today's episode, we delve into a common but often misunderstood symptom of scoliosis: hip pain. Dr. Nalda explains how scoliosis can lead to pain in various parts of the body, focusing particularly on the hips. Understanding Scoliosis and Its Systemic Effects: Scoliosis affects the spine but its implications can be felt throughout the body due to its influence on the central nervous system. This connection means scoliosis can impact organs, systems, and especially the musculoskeletal alignment, leading to pain and dysfunction beyond the spine. Pain Distribution in Scoliosis Patients: Adolescents: Typically, young patients do not experience pain directly due to scoliosis. Instead, the growth-related progression of scoliosis in children and teenagers tends to elongate the spine, which doesn't compress tissues or nerves significantly. Adults: Contrarily, adults may experience pain as a result of scoliosis due to the compressive effects of gravity over time. This compression can lead to nerve pain and degenerative changes in the spine and other joints. Why Hip Pain Occurs: Hip pain in scoliosis patients can arise from several mechanisms: Asymmetrical Pressure: The uneven spinal alignment can put disproportionate pressure on one hip, leading to pain and accelerated joint degeneration. Nerve Pain: As the spinal curvature worsens, it may pinch or compress nerve pathways, leading to radiating pain that extends from the lower back down to the hips and legs. Postural Changes: Scoliosis often leads to a shift in posture, which can misalign the hips and create further imbalance and stress in the hip joints. Managing and Treating Hip Pain in Scoliosis: The key to managing hip pain linked to scoliosis lies in addressing the structural and postural issues: Realignment: By realigning the spine and correcting postural imbalances, it's possible to reduce the uneven forces exerted on the hips, which can alleviate pain and prevent further degeneration. Comprehensive Treatment: Dr. Nalda emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach that includes chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and possibly corrective bracing to enhance spinal alignment and function. Long-term Management Strategies: For adults, managing scoliosis and associated symptoms like hip pain involves not just symptomatic relief but also structural correction to slow down or halt the progression of degenerative changes. This approach can potentially reduce the need for more invasive treatments such as hip replacements in the future. Conclusion: Hip pain can indeed be a significant issue for individuals with scoliosis, particularly as they age. Dr. Nalda's insights underscore the importance of a holistic treatment approach that addresses both the cause and the symptoms of scoliosis.
