2025/12/23

Episode 33 - Scoliosis surgery is often presented as a permanent solution for spine curvature, but it may not address the underlying functional and neurological factors that influence spinal health. In this video, we explore why surgical solutions for scoliosis aren’t always ideal and what limitations they may have when it comes to long-term mobility, adaptability, and nervous system function.We discuss how spinal fusion and other surgical interventions can restrict natural movement, shift stress

2025/11/15

Spinal flexibility is one of the most important factors in predicting scoliosis outcomes. It not only influences how much curve correction might be possible but also helps determine whether specific treatment approaches are worth pursuing.In this episode, we discuss:• How spinal flexibility helps set expectations for achievable improvement• Why treatment intensity should match the likelihood of meaningful results• How lying-down x-rays provide a clearer picture of true flexibility• Why these

Scoliosis World w/ Dr Morningstar ·

2025/11/11

Scoliosis is commonly viewed as a structural issue of the spine, but the visible curve is often the final expression of deeper, systemic factors. In this episode, we focus on genomics and how it shapes both the likelihood of developing a curve and the way the body responds to treatment. We discuss how: Scoliosis is not primarily a spine problem (the curvature is the last thing that shows up)A collection of genetic variants can increase the likelihood of curve development during rapid growthMelatonin
