very minimal mid-thoracic scoliosis Posted: 01-16-08 19:04pm
hi, i came back from the chiropractor
about a month ago, and heres what the fax
said about my back:
"standing AP views of the lumbar and most
of the thoracic spine show a very minimal
scoliosis, convexity to the right,
centered at T4-5. The alignment is
otherwise normal and no development
anomaly is noted.
impression: very minimal mid-thoracic
dextroscoliosis"
what should i do to cure this fast ?

have you had an adjustment from the
chiropractor yet? IMOH chiropractic care
would be the best treatment for this, does
the chiropractor who took the x rays
impress you, because you need to see a
good one, also you will need to refrain
from any vigorous activity during the
initial stage of your treatment. What
symptoms are you having?

well, i can run, basketball, all those
things without it hurting
and i cant see any curve at all in my
shoulders or hips
but if i wrestle or something like that it
hurts
but that was a while ago but i believe it
will still hurt
and if i am standing straight, and just
stretching my hip back it kind of hurts
and i only got an xray so...

Hello Wretlerguy,
Obviously something isn't right. I am no
doctor, however, I would suggest that you
not wrestle until this issue is resolved.
By continue to wrestle will most likely
make things worse and your recovery take
longer.
FIRST, forget the "cure this fast". That
is not how the body heals itself with
proper medical care. It take TIME and
proper medical attention.
I would recommend that you seek the advice
of a neurologist. If you are in an area
that has a professional sports team, give
their office and call and find out which
doctor they use for spinal issues.
Hope all goes well, and no wrestling until
a neurologist says its okay. PATIENCE is
required.

Hi again wrestlerguy, i think that
wresling is one of the worst things you
could do to make your back worse, when
scoliosis is very mild you might not be
able to see it without x rays, try looking
in the mirror without a shirt to see if
your shoulders are level. It does not
sound as if you are to bad but if it was
me i would be proactive and try and nip it
in the bud. I still rekon chiro would be
best for this, but you could try the
conventional route if you like, although
your symptoms are fairly mild i doubt that
they would perform an MRI, still a
specialist may find something. If you see
a chiropractor make sure he is a good
one.
