MDJunction to me

suebaby41"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

Admittedly, this post is self-serving (this is my website after all), but I think it does a very good job of providing a unique education in regards to an active neuro-muscular re-education approach to scoliosis treatment, rather than the current passive options available (bracing protocols and surgical fusion). Just follow "The 5 steps to Early Stage Scoliosis Intervention" if your dealing with curvatures under 25 degrees and click on the "dog ear" tab at the top right hand corner if you dealing with curves that measure over 25 degrees. I have also attached a new diagram that explains the scoliosis progression cycle.

I'm honestly not trying to sell anyone, anything. I just want to get the info out there and open up the discussion of developing an active neuro-muscular re-education approach to scoliosis treatment.

Please feel free to comment on the site or send me a private message. I am here to help and don't mind sharing any information regardless of your treatment preference or choice.

Hi HansMassage,

I have been to Gig Harbor to study with Dr. Burl Pettibon in the past. He is a great man and a legend in the field of spinal correction. One day, the world will realize the amazing amount of knowledge he contributed to the field of scoliosis correction.
