New Way to Treat Scoliosis Stories

New Way to Treat Scoliosis

A new neuronavigational technique similar to the one NASA uses to navigate a robotic arm in space is making it possible to operate on severe cases of scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, in a minimally invasive, low-impact manner. The new procedure, which is performed only on those relatively few patients with a spine curvature greater than 45 degrees, avoids the extensive muscle damage, long scars and significant blood loss of traditional scoliosis surgery.

Chiropractic Targets Back Pain Caused by Sacroiliac Stories

Chiropractic Targets Back Pain Caused by Sacroiliac

Physical therapy and chiropractic care can often relieve the lower-back pain associated with problems of the sacroiliac joint. Some 40 percent of lower-back pain stems from sacroiliac joint issues. This joint is one of two - one on the left and one on the right - in the pelvis that link the tailbone (sacrum), which is part of the spine, and the large pelvic bone (ilium). This strong, snug union produces the base for spinal movements to take place. The sacroiliac joint can be injured by such things as a direct fall on the buttocks, a vehicle accident, or even overlifting - and sometimes it just happens through normal activities without a noticeable trauma.

Chiropractic Stress Management May Boost Overall Health Stories

Chiropractic Stress Management May Boost Overall Health

When the wear and tear of life start to “get on our nerves,” it’s exactly our nerves that may be getting impacted. Stress bears down on the nervous system, and that in turn can create problems with headaches, backache, neck pain, fatigue or digestive difficulties.


And that’s where chiropractic care comes in. Chiropractors’ primary area of expertise is the nervous system, especially the spine. The nervous system as a whole is the coordinator of all of the body’s processes – including those in the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. So to correct problems in those systems, the chiropractor focuses on the all-important nervous system, which underpins them all.
