When I was 11 or so I was screen for
scoliosis in my school. I had it.
So I went to the orthopedist and they took
an x-ray and said come back after a given
amount of time for another w-ray to
determine what has changed.
Surprise! They told me that my spine had
curved back and corrected itself.
How here I am 21 years later with
scoliosis and the doctors say that it's
too late to do anything about it. And
they said that 11 would have been to late
too b/c a girl stops growing around that
age.
But now, it's not just scoliosis, it's
more! Because of the scoliosis my right
side of my rib cage is pushed back and my
shoulder always hurts. And my breasts
have grown uneven because of this with one
larger than the other and now i'm looking
forward to having to get an implant.
And i'm going to the orthopedist on
wednesday to see if it's gotten worse. I
don't think I could be disappointed
anymore where this is concerned. I'm just
anticipating something worse.
Could I have been saved from all of this
if only some body would have thought to do
something before it was too late?

that might mean your spine had now two
curves where the second one balances the
first one. There is a name for that:
scoliosis!

yes. Scoliosis doesn't come without a
reason. There is a cause for it and most
often it is problems in pelvis:
subluxation of sacroiliac joints or
sacrum. Very common disorders but very
poorly undertood by doctors. And they can
be corrected with manipulation. But
ofcourse not all manipulators know how to
do it...
