Scoliosis:
Straighten Out with Alternative Therapy 
Scoliosis, often referred to as; "curvature of the spine" is most commonly found in adolescents from 10 to 18 years of age.  Untreated, scoliosis can cause back pain, breathing problems and even disfigurement. Osteopathic physical therapy can reduce or eliminate scoliosis, without bracing or surgery.

The osteopathic physical therapy treatment of Alternative Therapy will provide gentle, manipulative treatment to the pelvis, head, rib cage, abdominal wall and the fascial mechanism of the body as well as the area surrounding the spinal curve.  Consecutive treatments can reduce scoliosis.

Dr. Martha Hawes, author of Scoliosis and the Human Spine and one of the world's foremost authorities on scoliosis said; "Statements claiming that scoliosis cannot be stabilized or reversed without bracing or surgery are not, and never have been, supported by scientific data. On the contrary... scoliosis can be reduced if not eliminated using non-surgical approaches."  Learn more about DR MARTHA HAWES

Backache Relief authors Arthur C Klein and David Sobel *(see side bar article) report: "After unproductive years of seeing 'mainstream' practitioners, 22 of 31 scoliosis sufferers got long-term relief by receiving treatment from an "alternative practitioner." 

Alternative Therapy offers experienced osteopathic physical therapy with Andrzej Strzalkowski, a 25 year practitioner who has experienced positive results in his scoliosis patients.

 *Klein and Sobel further report that 100 percent of the scoliosis patients they interviewed who tried yoga, reported long term relief. They also note that those who regularly did at least two activities, such as swimming and yoga, had the best results.

Therapeutic yoga is available in group or private classes and taught by 16 year, certified  practitioner; Brook Longobardi, CYT, Y4C.
