What's scoliosis? Wikipedia states that it is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, where it looks more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. There is no cure for this condition, except surgery.. where you insert and screw in a metal rod along the spine to make it straight. In my case, it's an "S"... My lower back used to hurt everytime i lie or sit down... and everytime i try to get up. We all decided that it was best not to go for surgery but to get alternative forms of treatment.It stopped hurting after getting weekly treatments from this Canadian chiropractor over a period of 3 years. My spine is still crooked to one side but at least the shooting pain subsided as a result.
This chiropractor ended up being a family friend and great fishing mate haha. He even bought the red Celica for his daughter and changed the plates from 'TINA88' to 'JENNY88' (yes his daughter's name is Jenny). I'm not really sure to this day, if the number 88 means anything to Jenny hehe.
Thanks doc!
