Episode 25: Scoliosis Treatment Without Surgery: Amber’s Story

Amber was diagnosed with Scoliosis during her elementary days.

Every six months, she went to the doctor but the curvature didn’t get over 11 degrees which was pretty mild.

By the time she finished high school (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis), she was down to 7 degrees.

Amber was informed that she won't need to treat scoliosis or check it anymore since she was through puberty and she will be fine.

But at the end of high school, she was in a very bad car accident and she broke her lower back.

Since that moment, she experienced these:

• Severe back pain 
• Severe back problems
• Multiple surgeries
• Multiple sets of medication to alleviate the pain

Sadly, nor physical therapy nor a lot of that medication has worked.

While Amber was focused on these, her Scoliosis started creeping in because of the instability at the bottom. 

Fact check: Many adult scoliosis patients come in seeking care after an injury, like a car accident or a fall and sometimes they would discover they have Scoliosis.

In Amber’s case, she actually knew she had Mild Scoliosis even before and there was one theory of causation that can be because of: 

• Adolescent Trauma
• Childhood Juvenile Trauma
• Birth Trauma

Did you know that during the adult stage, trauma can worsen Scoliosis because it’s an injury? Anytime you had an injury on an asymmetrical spine, it will cause so much pain and discomfort.

Check out the podcast for more of Amber’s story and how Dr. Tony Nalda was able to help her with customized and individually designed non surgical scoliosis treatment and traditional physical therapy designed to try to reduce the curve and scoliosis symptoms and its costs before spinal fusion surgery becomes a need for each scoliosis patient and its also possible to have scoliosis treatment without surgery for adults.
