Ep 49 Scoliosis And How Upper Cervical Care Can Help

Dr. Emily Savage of Revive Upper Cervical Talks About Scoliosis.
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. You can also notice this when there is an unequal level of the shoulders and the pelvis, which then translates down to the legs and feet.
Several factors can cause Scoliosis:
Congenital, Structural, Neurological
According to a 2021 study published by the Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Treatments, a subtle neurological imbalance of the bilateral peripheral muscle tone could be a plausible causative factor for scoliotic deformation initiation. Spinal growth and imbalance of the paraspinal muscles both result in biomechanical instability, leading to the progression of the scoliotic curve. The craniocervical junction misalignment may induce a neuromuscular imbalance leading to functional leg length discrepancy and is associated with Scoliosis.
