In this episode, Allie shares her personal journey of dealing with scoliosis and how a proper diagnosis and finding the right doctor and the right treatment can result in a successful outcome.
A roller coaster-induced sickness prompts Allie’s friend to suggest she take an X-Ray as she noticed something is wrong with her neck. While under normal conditions, our neck has a natural curve, Allie’s as it turns out is in the opposite direction.
Cervical spine misalignment on the nerve pathways can cause pain in various parts of your body such as the hands, arms, neck, and skull base. Common symptoms include neck pain, vertigo, dizziness, numbness, and tingling.
Lordosis vs. Kyphosis
The cervical spine has a normal alignment and that normal alignment is called the Lordosis, where the spine bends like a backward C facing forward. What Allie has is called cervical Kyphosis where the spine bends backward. So, she had a 100% loss of this normal curve. When you lose this normal curve, it can start affecting the neurology that goes through the spine thus, creating all kinds of widespread problems like Allie is dealing with.
With proper treatment and with the help of Dr. Tony Nalda, Allie went from a cervical Kyphosis, a backward bend curvature to a forward bending curve, from a negative curve to a positive curve.
Allie's journey highlights the significance of addressing spinal health and how Dr. Tony Nalda’s approach has brought positive changes to Allie’s well-being.
