Structure-Function Care is essential to help Scoliosis patients to avoid surgery, but can even help patients who already have rods in their back. In this episode, we talk about:

—Why Dr. Prather says that you will never get Scoliosis under control unless you also look at the Endocrine System and the balance of the hormones. And the natural products that Holistic Integration uses to get the hormones balanced correctly.
—The importance of the Copper-Zinc ratio for Scoliosis and how Dr. Prather saw "a huge difference" and "much quicker results" with his Scoliosis cases once his office started focusing on this ratio.
—How Elizabeth suffered from Scoliosis back pain since the age of 9 and even endured the surgery, but is now pain-free after less than 2 months of care at Holistic Integration.
—Why girls suffer from Scoliosis at a rate of 10 times the rate of boys, but Scoliosis is "usually more severe" if boys have it.
—The different types of Scoliosis diagnosed. And why the difference between Structural Scoliosis and Functional Scoliosis should be discussed more.
—Why the hormone Leptin is an important factor for girls who have Scoliosis. And how Scoliosis is starting to develop at earlier ages than in the past.
—How major organs like the heart and lungs are affected by Scoliosis.
—How it can be determined whether or not a back brace will help a Scoliosis patient just by seeing if their pain is "immediately" relieved when they put it on.
—The gentle Chiropractic care techniques offered at Holistic Integration and how they are different from the traditional "pop and crunch" approach. And how the top vertebrae in the neck (the Atlas) and the feet are actually important considerations for Scoliosis.
—The corrective exercises that are helpful for Scoliosis (and the activities and exercises that AREN'T helpful). And why men who put a wallet in their back pocket, kids who don’t use both straps on their backpacks, and women who carry heavy purses are at greater risk of back problems.
