Scoliosis acupuncture treatment

I use acupuncture and tui na much as Chad describes. It is important to identify areas of local excess and deficiency and treat appropriately. So where there is excess, on the side the spine is curving towards, there will be stagnation and tight muscles. This needs strong treatment and deep tui na. On the deficiency side, a more gentle tonifying approach is useful.

Does this mean that western medicin is driving west and away?

A newborn infant born with one under extretremity shorter than the othe 1cm. increasing to 3,5,7 or 10cm. during childhood up to 13-15 years old. Will be treated building up under the short extremity until the age right before stopp growing in height, then will be surgically operated to elongat the short one. often this condition will give any type of scoliosis, lumbar, thoracal, or total scoliosis.

My question here is: can this child be treated by acupuncture and saved him from operation and a childhood with pain, medical contol, x-ray, special shoes and may be much other costs?

Thank you very much Chad.

Treating a over 18 year old patient is more difficult, but the chances to improve a lot his health are still important.

I already wrote about some nice results using meditation techniques in order to relax tensed parts of the spine/body, and I think there&#39s a lot of science in dealing with the energies in the meridians of each leg also. It&#39s so important to reduce the inbalance between the two legs to a minimum, even for the reason that each leg should touch the ground the same way, and receive the same plantar stimulation, to have the same amount of energy flowing in the right side and the left side of each meridian. So I think there&#39s a big clue here, because if you can make the legs be the same length, it&#39s easy after that to have another surprising results the patient never could even hope for.

So, if the left leg is shorter than the right one, with a 15 cm inbalance, how can we work better with the meridians in order to reduce this to a minimum? It&#39s known that the body follows the energy patterns, and if one leg is shorter than the another one, this could be solved stimulating or dispersing some energies in a proper way.

Is it possible that in the right leg the kidney meridian to be less active than the left side of the same meridian? How we can use these facts to reduce the physical inbalance?

My latest experience with scoliosis:

Definitely, meditation is one of the most helpful ways to reduce the scoliosis imbalances along the spine. Vipassana meditation is the most effective of all until this moment.

Relaxation is obtained as a "secondary product" in this process, and the body regains the normal posture in time, because the blockages dissapear or diminish one by one, and muscles are tensed no more. The "key" is to know how to move the blocked energy and to release it from the spine and muscles, in those areas where&#39s no need of it any more. Another "secondary effect" of this meditation process is the healing of a big amount of psychological issues, traumas or "subconscious mind cleansing", in a very deep way.

But the effectiveness of this meditation technique is obviously due to the proper way to do it, in an almost "scientific" approach, and, of course...noticing that every human being is unique. The process is different from person to person.

It was my too short explanation that created confusion here. Of course meditation doesn&#39t entirely cure scoliosis, but it creates a good "framework" for the patient to understand how his disease affects his life, and it "unlocks" the healing process which obviously is due to another different techniques. And there are so many things which contribute besides meditation, and they can be given as examples - the environment where the patient is treated, the determination of the patient to give up the "benefits" the ilness gave him for a long part of his life...and so on. Yes, there are patients who can be afraid to be cured, because they will obtain less attention, less affection or less money or another material benefits when they will be healthy.

There is one strong reason I made the affirmation that Vipassana is the most effective of a wide range of meditation techniques, and that is because during a 15 year period of time, this proved to give the most notable effects in improving the health of scoliosis patients. It would be nonethical and unwise to name here another kinds of meditation techniques, there&#39s no need to explain why.

As for the medical evidences about the role of meditation in healing process of scoliosis, I will try to make them known here as soon as possible, but the medical & academic environment where these experiments take place is not so friendly concerning with such "new" concepts. That&#39s why it will be a little difficult for these results be recognized in such environment, and avoid legal / ethical complications.
