Case Study #3

The x-ray on the left is the "before" x-ray showing a 10-degree scoliosis (Cobb method).  The x-ray on the right is the "after" x-ray - the spine is in a normal, neutral/balanced position.  The films were taken 27-days apart.

The upper cervical spine is very important for postural consideration.  Just because there's a scoliosis in the lower back doesn't imply that the lower back needs to be adjusted - the entire spine must be considered as a whole.  In this patient's case, we had to adjust his atlas and then once that area stabilized, we adjusted his pelvis.  It's truly amazing what the body can do once all interference is removed to the expression of well-being!
