Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Understanding Thoracic Lordosis – What Happens When the Mid-Back Bends the Wrong Way? Episode Summary: Most people know the spine has curves—but not all spinal curves are good. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore thoracic lordosis, an abnormal forward-bending of the mid-back. Dr. Nalda explains how this condition differs from normal spinal alignment, why it often goes hand-in-hand with scoliosis, and what you can do to restore proper spinal shape before symptoms progress. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What Is Thoracic Lordosis? Normally, the thoracic (mid-back) spine should curve backward—a shape called kyphosis Thoracic lordosis occurs when the curve bends forward instead, disrupting spinal mechanics ✅ Why It Matters Thoracic lordosis weakens the spine's ability to handle stress It can contribute to: Progressive scoliosis Neck curvature issues (cervical kyphosis) Lumbar spine instability (spondylolisthesis) Chronic back pain, poor posture, and mobility limitations ✅ What Causes It? Postural habits Congenital defects Post-surgical changes (especially scoliosis surgery with rods) Neuromuscular conditions ✅ Connection to Scoliosis A flat or reversed mid-back curve is often seen in scoliosis cases Patients with flatter thoracic spines are more likely to progress rapidly during growth The rotational nature of scoliosis can flatten or invert normal curves, worsening spinal alignment ✅ How to Fix It You can't "watch and wait" on structural conditions Treatment must target the cause and curve direction At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Dr. Nalda and his team use: Customized in-office care Targeted therapies to restore curve balance Home rehab programs for long-term stability Key Takeaway: Thoracic lordosis isn't “just posture.” It's a structural issue that can cascade into scoliosis, nerve issues, and even spinal instability. But with proper diagnosis and proactive care, the spine can be reshaped and protected from further damage. Resources & Links:

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) occurs when blood vessels and nerves in the upper chest become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, swelling, or circulation problems in the arms. Jarrad Rowse, M.D., a vascular surgeon, explains the three types of TOS — neurogenic, venous, and arterial — why they develop, and how they are diagnosed. He discusses multidisciplinary treatment approaches, including physical therapy, pain management, and surgery when needed.

This special issue of JACC is dedicated to the essential role of cardiovascular surgery in advancing modern cardiology.

I had an interesting case this week of NTOS and he also had tinnitus that improved from the treatment.   Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com   IG: @richhazel

Contributor: Megan Hurley MD Educational Pearls: What is the mediastinum? The thoracic cavity is separated into different compartments by membranes The lungs exist in their own pleural cavities, and the mediastinum is everything in between The mediastinum extends from the sternum to the thoracic vertebrae and includes the heart, the aorta, the trachea, the esophagus, the thymus, as well as many lymph nodes and nerves. What is a pneumomediastinum? Air in the mediastinum How can pneumomediastinum be categorized? Traumatic Ex. Stab wound to the trachea Ex. Boerhaave's Syndrome of the esophagus, possibly from an endoscopic procedure. This mechanism in particular is a higher risk of infection because not only air but food can accumulate in the mediastinum Ex. Intubation with a bougie These will likely need surgical repair Nontraumatic Ex. Forceful inhalation causing microperforations in the trachea. Possibly while inhaling something like drugs Ex. Bad asthma for similar reasons Ex. Gas forming bacteria What happens if you use positive pressure ventilation on a patient with a hole in their trachea? The positive pressure will force extra air into the mediastinum The air will move between the layers of subcutaneous tissue and can track up into the neck and face regions recognized as crepitus on exam This can also cause a tension pneumomediastinum in which the air pressure in the compartment constricts the heart, impeding its ability to fill during diastole These patients can undergo bronchoscopy because that procedure does not require positive pressure and will not worsen the condition. Endoscopies do require positive pressure so endoscopies are not an option How is a tension pneumomediastinum treated? By inserting a needle into the space from below the xiphoid process to allow the air to escape, similar to a pericardiocentesis As a temporizing measure, if the hole is high enough in the trachea, the intubation can be continued by deliberately pushing the endotracheal tube into the right main bronchus, creating a seal, and only ventilating the right lung while the patient heads to surgery. This is called right-mainstemming. References Clancy DJ, Lane AS, Flynn PW, Seppelt IM. Tension pneumomediastinum: A literal form of chest tightness.

In this week's episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about the often-overlooked role of the diaphragm.  I bring this topic up because I see it often in my NFL athletes around this point in their season and how diaphragm stiffness starts to affect their performance. In the episode, you'll hear me talk about diaphragm anatomy and function, how stiffness of the diaphragm can lead to limited thoracic mobility and pain, and give you practical exercises that I use with my athletes to improve their diaphragm mobility.  Regardless if you work with athletes or not, this episode can give you a lot of insight on understanding and treating the diaphragm if you think it's contributing to your client's thoracic spine or T6 costovertebral joint pain.Resources Mentioned In This EpisodeEpisode 48: Small Intestine and Mesenteric RootsVideo: Prone Breathing w/ Coregeous Ball Video: Diaphragmatic Breathing / VacuumVideo: DaVinci RollingVideo: Segmental BridgeLearn the LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

In today's episode, we will be discussing the proper conceptualization for correcting a thoracic subluxation. While this conceptualization is true in all areas of the spine, it is particularly important for the thoracic spine.  In addition, the thoracic spine offers us the obstacle of imbrication, which must be accounted for to create a proper adjustment.

In today's episode, we begin our study of Thoracic Misalignments.  The Thoracic vertebra are different from the cervical and lumbar vertebra. This chapter will discuss those differences and how it should effect our conceptualization of what is happening with subluxation and what we need to do about it. 

A client had a complex surgical procedure on her heart two weeks prior, but it was conducted by way of a catheter threaded up her femoral artery and aorta. Now, she wants to receive massage again. A quick Google search suggests that it would be OK. Her MT is skeptical and wants to be more conservative. Who is right?

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about the challenges of finding trigger points during myofascial release, sharing a favorite body fact, and discuss cues for helping engage your pelvic floor muscles. Your questions:* I use a massage ball for myofascial release. Recently I was feeling stuck around my shoulder and thoracic area. Sometimes I can't find the exact trigger point as the time when I started with the massage ball. I wonder if there is any reason for that. * What is your favorite random fact about the body?* A student of mine is asking how she can feel her pelvic floor muscles. We've talked about Triple S, finding the diamond, and 360 breathing. I'm curious what cues other teachers use for students who want to "feel their PF muscles engage."

When a patient is diagnosed with scoliosis, it's often classified as thoracic scoliosis. To understand this condition, we first need to grasp what scoliosis is. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine measuring 10 degrees or greater, known as the Cobb angle, accompanied by rotation of the vertebrae in the affected area. Classifying Scoliosis for Effective Treatment Scoliosis is classified by various factors to streamline the treatment process. By identifying whether a patient has thoracic, lumbar, or thoracolumbar scoliosis, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans, predict outcomes, and address potential complications. Age Classification Infantile - Under 2 years old Juvenile - Between 2 and 10 years old Adolescent - Between 10 and 18 years old Adult - 18 years and older Type of Scoliosis Idiopathic - Unknown cause, most common type Congenital - Present at birth due to bone formation issues Neuromuscular - Associated with nerve or muscle conditions Degenerative - Seen in adults due to spinal degeneration Severity and Location of the Curve Mild - 10-25 degrees Moderate - 25-45 degrees Severe - Over 45 degrees Thoracic scoliosis specifically refers to a curve whose apex is in the thoracic spine, typically between T1 and T10/T11 vertebrae. This region is the most common for scoliosis diagnosis due to the visible rib deformity it causes. Symptoms and Diagnosis The most common symptom of thoracic scoliosis is changes in the rib cage. These changes are usually detected through the Adams Forward Bending Test. When a patient bends forward, the asymmetry in the rib cage becomes apparent. This rib deformity often leads to further testing and a definitive diagnosis via X-ray. In adults, pain is a prevalent symptom due to spinal compression over time. This contrasts with children, who usually do not experience pain but show postural changes instead. Treatment and Management Acting proactively is key to managing thoracic scoliosis. The primary goal is to reduce the curve to prevent progression and improve the patient's quality of life. Various treatment options are available, including alternative treatments and corrective measures, which are essential for maintaining and enhancing spine health. Understanding thoracic scoliosis is vital for effective treatment and management. By classifying scoliosis based on age, type, severity, and location, healthcare providers can offer tailored and hopeful treatment plans. Proactive management can reduce the impact of scoliosis and improve the patient's life quality. For more in-depth discussions on scoliosis and its treatment, tune in to Dr. Tony Nalda's podcast.

Thoracic dissections are surgical emergencies that require precise temporizing measures until surgery can be performed. In this session, participants will gain critical knowledge on recognizing key symptoms such as ripping back pain and unequal pulses, indicative of thoracic dissections. The discussion will focus on anti-impulse therapy, emphasizing using beta-blockers like esmolol and calcium channel blockers like nicardipine to control blood pressure and prevent further damage. Pain management strategies and the selective use of nitroprusside will also be explored. The class will address the unique challenges of managing blood pressure in prehospital settings, stressing the importance of a well-prepared plan.

The spinal cord serves as the main communication highway between the brain and body. Did you know that 80% of people with multiple sclerosis have spinal cord lesions on MRI? These lesions can disrupt specific neural pathways, leading to common MS symptoms like numbness, weakness, impaired coordination, balance issues, bladder problems, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. For instance, damage to the corticospinal tract on one side of the spinal cord can weaken an arm or leg. A remarkable autopsy study revealed that nearly 90% of people with MS still had active inflammation in the spinal cord. This finding brings new hope for potential treatments, even for older and progressive MS patients. Advances in imaging technology, including more powerful MRI scanners (3 Tesla and higher), are enhancing our ability to see inside the spinal cord, which is as thin as a pinky finger. Improved spinal cord imaging is driving the development of new therapies in clinical trials and helping identify those at risk for worsening disability, ultimately guiding better treatment decisions.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Maggie: I'm on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours?   Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya   Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I've been learning a lot from it. I'm a dietitian and I'm having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal ‘reaction' to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn't recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on ‘cleaning up' their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view!   Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help   Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3081 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
