Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 it doesn't cause me any problems...so... Kathy if it does not cause you problems then you have no problem really, but the doctors just love this diagnosis of curvature of the spine. Really they do, have heard it so many times. No I am not a Chiropractor though I studied under one for a short time, he taught me so much. I am a doctor of oriental medicine and Biogenic medicine, which I created. But my work is more in psychology and therapy of a different sort. A very different sort. The best advice I have for people who want to avoid back problems (besides learning always to stay on two feet)(remember see people and how they stand in banks for lessons on this) I recommend Yoga. And thanks Kathy for the thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hi Kathy, I had the same problem a few years ago.I noticed howbad it was after my daughter grew too heavy and I stopped carrying her on the left hip. I went to a bodyworker- he did deep tissue massage and spinal manipulation ( like a chiropractor). I went once a week for about two months, then tapered down to just a few times a year. It really helped. I gained that inch of my height I had lost to slouching, lost the last 10 pounds of baby fat I couldn't lose, stopped tripping on things, and got pregnant after a year of trying unsuccessfully. Have you tried Rolfing? I think it's the closest thing to what I had done that's available in the US. I think it's best to straighten out while you are younger. Why wait until it hurts or until permanant damage has been done.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 You're right I don't have a problem with my back at the moment Mark but as I get closer to my senior years, I would like to prevent any future problems if possible As Virginia stated " I think it's best to straighten out while you are younger. Why wait until it hurts or until permanant damage has been done. " I have no doubt that my diagnosis was correct as even a blind man could see the curvature....it's that obvious, and xrays showed a slight case of spina bifida as well. Thanks for the suggestion on Rolfing Virgina. That might just be the ticket....I do find I trip fairly regularly and never associated it with the shape of my spine. > it doesn't cause me any problems...so... > > Kathy if it does not cause you problems then you have no problem really, but the doctors just love this diagnosis of curvature of the spine.
