Scheuermann’s Disease

(12 discussions)

My son was just recently diagnosed with Scheuermann’s disease.
He is 15-1/2 years old and his curvature is at 64 degrees.
He is experiencing dull pains and mild discomfort in his back, but he has a HIGH tolerance for pain.
He does not like the appearance that this disease has created and we are seeking out ALTERNATIVES to other than BRACING. Bracing I believe would be MOST traumatic at his age. Could chiropractic treatments along with physical therapy combat my sons disease allowing him NOT to be saddled with a brace for the next two years? Any information you could lend would be most helpful. Thank you in advance.

sciolosis problem.

hello there, im an 18 yr old teenage girl. been thru the yearly back check ups in school and the degree of my spine inclination has been increasing over the years. from 3 degrees to the present 18 degrees. I went to several doctors and each time they tell me “its fine”. but now, after 4 years of check up and the repeated “its fine”s, my shoulder-blade area hurts (albeit not acutely) and my right shoudler is lower and narrower than my left shoulder. not only does it gives me a perpetual throbbing pain, it affects my daily life in a small but significant way because I can’t carry a bag without having one of the straps to drop, or wear a top without having a “space” on the right and not the left. it is obvious. (to me at least). albeit not a serious case of it, I feel inferior and conscious abt my back structure and overall posture. doctors tell me I cannot do anything abt it because I have “reached skeletal maturity” then why didn’t they do something abt it in the first place then when I was like 4 years younger? pls help. im in a desperate and frustrated position. thankyou:)

Chiropractic School

I was wondering how difficult chiropractic school is with regards to the sciences. I do not consider myself a natural in sciences but I do have a good work ethic. Are there plenty of tutors and small group dynamics to aid students.
Thank you vey much.Tim

Back cracking position

(11 discussions)

A friend from a while back would crack my back maybe once a year, which is the time frame I start getting some back and neck aches. He would crack my back by standing behind me and lifting me, but I can’t remember the exact position he would have me put my arms in order to lift me. I used to feel very comfortable because he wouldn’t use brute force. He would lift me and then bend a little backwards and squeeze me. This would make by back crack from the base of skull down to the lower back.So, my question is “which is the best position for having a friend crack my back”. Thank you,

back/shoulder/leg pain.

(2 discussions)

I am having a lot of trouble with my back.
Some times I get to where I can’t move and have pain down my left side. Recently I have been experiencing pain in the upper chest up into my left shoulder and down my arm.
My doc says it is not a heart problem.
She feels it is due to the scoliosis pulling on that side.
I am also experiencing pain starting at the hip and going to the toes, pain in my lower back on both sides, pain in the back of shoulders and down the top left side of my back.
They put me in physical therapy in which they did not do x-rays first and now I am just having body pain everywhere. Especially on the left side.
What is going on or what should I do?
