Episode 145: Can Scoliosis Weaken Your Immune System?

In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the potential link between scoliosis and the immune system. While scoliosis is primarily a structural condition affecting the spine, emerging research suggests there may be indirect connections between scoliosis, inflammation, muscle remodeling, and immune function. Dr. Nalda breaks down these complex relationships and explains why addressing scoliosis proactively is key to supporting overall health and wellness.

Key Topics Covered:

✅ Understanding Scoliosis – What makes scoliosis a 3D spinal condition, and why it tends to progress over time.

✅ How the Immune System Works – Your body’s defense mechanism against infections, viruses, and disease.

✅ Is There a Direct Link Between Scoliosis and Immunity? – Current research on potential connections, particularly in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

✅ Inflammation, Stress & Cortisol – How the physical and emotional stress of scoliosis may contribute to inflammation and affect immune health.

✅ Muscle Remodeling & Immune Cells – The relationship between scoliosis-related muscle changes and immune system response.

✅ Proactive Treatment Approach – Why structurally addressing scoliosis is essential, regardless of its underlying cause, to minimize its impact on overall health.

Key Takeaways:

➡️ While no conclusive direct link exists between scoliosis and immune system dysfunction, research suggests inflammation, muscle remodeling, and stress may create indirect connections.

➡️ Scoliosis is multifactorial, meaning its causes vary widely, and the condition can impact the body beyond just the spine.

➡️ Proactive scoliosis treatment helps reduce spinal curvature, improve body function, and may indirectly support a healthier immune response.
