  Jacob J. asked:

  Saw a chiropractor today. Learned that my back is pretty messed up again. The words "severe scoliosis" were thrown around amongst my future chiropractor and massage therapist. Evidently, scoliosis isn't something that really ever goes away and I should have been doing more about it since I was diagnosed with it as a child, don't remember that been something I needed to do. Have to get some x-rays done to find out the extent of everything, hopefully it'll be an easy fix. It won't come quickly, but hopefully nothing drastic will have to happen. If it isn't one thing with my health it's another. Weeeeeeeeeeeee

  "Passive manipulation (Chiropractic) is not an acceptable treatment for scoliosis of any kind. Passive manipulation of the spine provides short term symptomatic relief for muscle spasm, but does not impact the size of the curve or the rate of progression. Patients with scoliosis are encouraged to not rely on chiropractic “adjustments” as a means of treatment since these are essentially equal to no treatment at all." http://www.sonoranspine.com/adult-scoliosis.html Sorry...there are some conditions I think are better served by an MD. How about getting a second opinion? (I have a great orthopedic guy I can refer you to.)
