Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 165: What is Hypolordosis? What Does It Mean?
🎙️ Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: What Is Hypolordosis?
Podcast Summary:In this focused episode, Dr. Tony Nalda explores the often overlooked condition of hypolordosis—a loss of normal spinal curvature—explaining what it is, why it matters, and how it affects both spinal health and scoliosis management.




📐 Understanding Hypolordosis


Normal spinal curves: From the side (sagittal view), the cervical and lumbar sections should have a forward-bending curvature called lordosis, while the mid-back (thoracic) has a gentle curve backward called kyphosis.


The ideal cervical lordosis is about 40° (normal range ~25–45°), and lumbar lordosis also centers around 40° (with a range of ~30–60°).





❗ When Normal Curves Are Lost
Terms to know:



Hypolordosis—a flattening or loss of normal curve (“less than normal” curvature).


Hyperlordosis—excessive forward curvature (“too much” curvature).


"Military neck"—an extreme form of cervical hypolordosis.


Flat-back syndrome—when thoracic kyphosis diminishes, often paired with cervical flattening.





✳️ Why Hypolordosis Isn't Harmless


The spine's natural curves act like a spring system, absorbing force and protecting joints, discs, nerves, and spinal tissue.


Loss of curve reduces shock-absorption, increasing stress and degeneration (often mislabeled as "arthritis").


In the neck:



Flattened curves diminish protection of nerve tissue and spinal cord.


Associations include headaches, neck pain, arm pain or weakness, and decreased nerve function.


Degeneration accelerates in these flattened segments.





🛠️ Treatment Approach
At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, the aim is full 3D spinal realignment—front-to-back and side-to-side:



Identify and restore lost curves in cervical and lumbar areas.


Integrate posture correction with scoliosis-specific care.


Use therapies focused on strengthening, mobilization, and support to maintain alignment.





🧩 Key Takeaways





Insight
Explanation




💡 Hypolordosis is more than posture
It can lead to spinal degeneration, pain, and neurological issues.


🧠 Curves matter
Normal curvature is essential for force distribution and nervous system health.


🌟 Fixing curves aids scoliosis treatment
Restoring normal sagittal alignment strengthens and protects the spine long-term.











🎯 Next Steps for Patients


If you’ve been told your spine is too straight or “kept your vertebrae from being bent backward,” ask about sagittal alignment or hypolordosis.


A full 3D spinal evaluation—sagittal curves and scoliosis—is crucial.


Consider therapeutic methods aimed at restoring normal curves: posture exercises, manual therapy, and back-support systems.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 164: 29% Scoliosis Curve Reduction + No More Breathing Issues!
🎙️ Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Can Scoliosis Impact Your Breathing?
Podcast Summary:In this powerful episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we hear from Christy, an 18-year-old who was first diagnosed with scoliosis as a teenager in Venezuela. She shares her journey of discovering how her spinal curvature began affecting her breathing, posture, and quality of life — and how a specialized, non-surgical treatment plan brought her relief and renewed hope.
Dr. Nalda also provides expert commentary on a frequently asked question: Can scoliosis affect breathing and lung function? His answer may surprise you.




🎧 Episode Highlights
Christy’s Story: A Breath of Struggle



Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 16, Christy initially noticed a difference when she exerted herself physically — running or exercising made it harder to breathe.


As she continued to grow, the discomfort and pain worsened, particularly in her lungs. She later learned that one of her spinal curves was pressing on her lungs, restricting normal respiration.


Dr. Nalda’s Insight: The Curve vs. The Stiffness



Contrary to popular belief, it's not necessarily the size of a scoliosis curve that affects breathing — it’s the stiffness of the spine.


A small curve can significantly impair breathing if it creates enough rigidity. Conversely, a larger curve might not impact lung capacity at all in certain individuals.


“During breathing, your spine should flex. When scoliosis makes it stiffer, that’s when breathing becomes restricted,” explains Dr. Nalda.





📉 From 35° to 25° in Just 9 Days
Christy’s treatment led to impressive results:



Her worst curve reduced by 10° (from 35° to 25°), and all four of her curves improved significantly.


Her shoulders became visibly more balanced in just over a week of intensive therapy.


"I feel happy… I’m doing something better for my body," Christy said with a smile.


Dr. Nalda underscores the significance of this kind of progress:“Going from 34 degrees to 24 degrees is a huge deal. That’s the same curve change that often separates no treatment from surgery in traditional care models.”




💡 Key Takeaways


Scoliosis can restrict breathing — but not necessarily because of the curve’s size. Spinal stiffness plays a larger role.


Each scoliosis case is unique. What affects one person dramatically might not affect another.


Early, intensive, and specialized treatment can lead to measurable curve reduction and improved quality of life, even in just a short time.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 163: What is Idiopathic Scoliosis?
🎙️ Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode: What Is Idiopathic Scoliosis?
✅ Key Takeaways


Idiopathic scoliosis means “unknown cause” and makes up about 80% of all scoliosis cases.


It’s defined as a three-dimensional spinal curve—with both sideways bending and rotation—measuring ≥ 10° Cobb angle.


Four subtypes based on age:



Infantile, Juvenile, Adolescent (most common, ages 10–18), Adult Idiopathic







🧬 Idiopathic vs Non-Idiopathic Scoliosis


Idiopathic: No identifiable structural cause.


Other 20% include:



Neuromuscular (e.g. cerebral palsy)


Congenital (spinal malformations at birth)


Degenerative (due to wear and tear)


Traumatic (caused by injury)




🚨 TIP: A proper workup by a scoliosis specialist is essential—sometimes non-idiopathic causes are missed.




👦 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis


Highly progressive during growth spurts, sometimes swinging from mild to severe quickly.


Early curves around 10–25° can escalate to 50°+ if overlooked.


Diagnosis often begins with posture checks—shoulder/hip height, rib prominence, etc.





👩 Adult Idiopathic vs Degenerative Scoliosis





Type
Onset
Key Feature
Symptoms




Adult Idiopathic
Continuation from adolescence
Pain, posture
Back pain, stiffness


Degenerative
Middle age onward
Asymmetric wear & tear
Compression-related pain










Many adults discover scoliosis via pain and X-rays, even without adolescent diagnosis.





🧱 Why "Idiopathic" Doesn’t Mean Untreatable
Dr. Nalda offers a powerful analogy:


“Like rebuilding a building after an earthquake—even if we don't control the quake, we can still fix the structure.”

Though the cause may remain unclear, structural rehabilitation—via chiropractic care, bracing, exercises, and therapy—can realign the spine, reduce curve size, and manage progression.




🌱 Early Intervention Is Key


The earlier the treatment, the better the results.


Smaller curves respond more effectively to non-surgical methods.


Even severe or painful idiopathic cases can often be managed successfully with a tailored, multimodal care plan.





📌 Final Thoughts


Idiopathic scoliosis is common—but it's manageable, not mysterious.


Don't wait for symptoms—early assessment and intervention offer the best outcomes.


Treatment is available, structured, and backed by proven spinal care strategies.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 162: Is Scoliosis Hereditary or Genetic?
Is Scoliosis Hereditary?
Exploring the Genetic Link and Why It May Not Matter for Treatment
Receiving a scoliosis diagnosis often sparks a cascade of questions:“How did I get this?”“Did I inherit it?”“What can I do about it?”
In this episode of the Scoliosis Treatment podcast, Dr. Tony Nalda breaks down one of the most common concerns—whether scoliosis is hereditary—and explains why discovering the “why” may not always impact how we treat the condition.




Family History vs. Genetic Cause
Patients frequently share that scoliosis “runs in the family.” But does that mean it’s genetic?
Dr. Nalda explains that scoliosis tends to cluster in families, but no single gene has ever been definitively linked to idiopathic scoliosis. Even identical twins—who share the exact same DNA—may have different outcomes, with one developing scoliosis and the other not. This strongly suggests that while there may be hereditary tendencies, scoliosis is not directly caused by genetics alone.




Different Types of Scoliosis (And Their Causes)
To understand where heredity may play a role, it's important to look at the four main types of scoliosis:



Idiopathic Scoliosis



Makes up 80% of cases


Cause: Unknown (idiopathic)


Most often seen in adolescents


Believed to be multifactorial, possibly involving environmental, developmental, and minor genetic influences




Neuromuscular Scoliosis



Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy, Marfan syndrome, or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome


More likely to have a genetic or systemic origin




Congenital Scoliosis



Present at birth due to malformed vertebrae (e.g., hemivertebra)


Truly genetic/developmental in nature




Degenerative or Traumatic Scoliosis



Caused by injury or wear and tear


Often appears in adulthood


Not hereditary—these result from physical changes over time







Why “Cause” Doesn’t Always Change the Outcome
Dr. Nalda uses a powerful analogy:


“If an earthquake causes a building to collapse, we may study the cause—but the most urgent need is to rebuild the structure.”

Similarly, scoliosis—regardless of the cause—becomes a structural problem that must be corrected. Many cases are diagnosed long after the original cause (if any) occurred, and chasing the “why” doesn't usually change how the curve affects the spine today.




Can Idiopathic Scoliosis Be Treated Without Knowing the Cause?
Yes.Dr. Nalda emphasizes that effective scoliosis treatment doesn’t depend on knowing the exact cause. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, idiopathic cases are treated with a multimodal approach, including:



Scoliosis-specific chiropractic care


Customized physical therapy and rehab


Scoliosis-specific exercises


Corrective bracing


These strategies focus on correcting the structural changes in the spine—not just the symptoms—and help stop curve progression over time.




Bottom Line: Focus on the Solution, Not Just the Source
While the question "Is scoliosis hereditary?" is understandable, the better question might be: What can I do now to manage it? Whether the root is genetic, environmental, or unknown, scoliosis can be treated effectively—especially when addresse...

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 161: Elderly Scoliosis Patient Story, Margie
Show Notes: A Second Chance - Margie’s Journey with Late-Onset Scoliosis
From Gardening to Diagnosis to Life-Changing ResultsAs featured on the Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda podcast




Discovering the Unexpected
For Margie, a day in the garden turned into a wake-up call. What she assumed was a pulled muscle from overexertion turned out to be something far more serious. When her daughter noticed visible swelling on one side of her lower back, Margie sought answers—and what she found changed the course of her life.
Following an evaluation by a scoliosis specialist, Margie received a surprising diagnosis: a 45-degree lumbar scoliosis curve. Like many adult scoliosis cases, her condition had gone unnoticed until it began to visibly affect her posture and daily comfort. The initial recommendation was a soft brace meant to reduce pressure—but Margie knew she needed a more effective solution.




A Turning Point: Meeting Dr. Tony Nalda
Margie’s search led her to the Scoliosis Reduction Center and the care of Dr. Tony Nalda. As Dr. Nalda explains, scoliosis in adults—particularly in its later stages—can progress rapidly, sometimes by 10 degrees or more per year. This swift progression can severely affect posture, mobility, and overall health if left unchecked.
During Margie’s evaluation, Dr. Nalda identified a major oversight: while her scoliosis had been diagnosed, an advanced 79-degree kyphosis (an excessive forward rounding of the upper back) had been completely ignored. Left untreated, this would have continued to compromise Margie’s posture and overall function.




Customized, Conservative Care That Works
Margie began an intensive, customized treatment plan that included spinal traction, corrective bracing, and home rehabilitation exercises. The results were dramatic. Her lumbar curve was reduced from 45 to 39 degrees, and her kyphosis improved from 79 to 67 degrees—restoring function, posture, and hope.
Unlike traditional soft braces that simply squeeze the spine, Margie’s new brace was designed to guide her spine into correction without discomfort. Combined with personalized home care, it offered her a new path forward.


“I can tell the big difference in the way I feel. He’s decreased my curve by a whole lot. My posture has improved. I’m just thrilled. And I plan on doing what he tells me to do to keep it up.” – Margie




Why Early, Proactive Treatment Matters
Dr. Nalda emphasizes that every severe curve was once a small one—and that age is not a barrier to improvement. In fact, adult patients often show some of the best results because they’re highly committed to getting better.
While younger patients have the advantage of growth, adults can still see major benefits when scoliosis is addressed proactively and conservatively. Treating the spine early helps avoid the need for more invasive solutions, like spinal fusion surgery.




Take the First Step Toward Hope and Healing
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with scoliosis—or suspects they may have it—there are effective, non-surgical options available. Margie’s story is proof that it’s never too late to take control of your spine and reclaim your life.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 160: What Does Scoliosis Affect?
🎙️ Podcast Show Notes
Podcast Title: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony NaldaEpisode Title: What Can Scoliosis Affect?




📖 Episode Summary:
Receiving a scoliosis diagnosis often raises immediate questions: How did this happen? What’s going to happen next? Can it be treated? In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda provides a comprehensive look at what scoliosis really is—and what it can affect beyond just the spine. While most people associate scoliosis with cosmetic concerns or back pain, Dr. Nalda reveals how this condition can influence posture, mobility, balance, neurological function, digestion, and even respiratory capacity.
Dr. Nalda outlines the difference between scoliosis in children—where progression is driven by growth—and in adults, where spinal asymmetry combined with gravity can lead to increasing compression, pain, and stiffness. He explains how the spine’s natural curves are meant to distribute stress and protect the spinal cord, and how scoliosis disrupts this design, leading to biomechanical and neurological consequences.
Whether you or a loved one has been newly diagnosed or you’ve been managing scoliosis for years, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of how scoliosis affects the entire body—and why early, customized, and conservative treatment is so important.




🧠 Topics Covered:


✅ What scoliosis is: a sideways curvature of the spine with associated rotation


✅ How the spine’s natural curves are meant to support movement and protect the nervous system


✅ Why postural asymmetry (like uneven shoulders, hips, or ribs) can be an early sign of scoliosis


✅ Differences between childhood and adult scoliosis progression—and why pain is more common in adults


✅ How scoliosis can impact balance, coordination, and equilibrium


✅ The connection between scoliosis and neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness


✅ Effects on organ function: including respiratory issues, restricted lung capacity, and digestive concerns


✅ The role of cerebrospinal fluid flow and how scoliosis can contribute to headaches and migraines


✅ Why “mild” scoliosis shouldn’t be ignored, and how every severe curve started small





💬 Key Quote:

“Every severe curve was once small. As curves worsen, they cause more problems. As they cause more problems, they affect more functions. And as they affect more functions, they affect your life more. That’s why we recommend proactive treatment—early and often.”




🛠️ Treatment Philosophy:
Dr. Nalda advocates for early and proactive scoliosis treatment—especially for young patients or adults newly diagnosed. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, conservative care is personalized to the patient's curve type, severity, and health needs. The goal is to reduce the curve, preserve function, and avoid surgery through strategic, evidence-based treatment plans.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 159: Why is 10 Degrees Diagnosed as a Scoliosis?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Why 10 Degrees Is the Diagnostic Threshold for Scoliosis




🎙️ Episode Overview:
Why is scoliosis officially diagnosed at 10 degrees? In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda explores the origin of the 10-degree cutoff, what it means for patients, and why the numbers don’t always reflect the impact scoliosis can have on daily life.




📌 Key Topics Covered:
✅ What Is Scoliosis?



A lateral curvature of the spine of 10 degrees or more, with spinal rotation


Must be measured via Cobb angle on a standing spinal X-ray


Three-dimensional deformity—not just a sideways curve


✅ Cobb Angle & Severity Categories:



Mild: 10–25 degrees


Moderate: 25–40 degrees


Severe: 40+ degrees


Very Severe (Dr. Nalda’s category): 80+ degrees



These classifications were originally designed by orthopedic surgeons for surgical decision-making, not necessarily for predicting symptoms or patient outcomes.

✅ Why 10 Degrees?



In 1977, Dr. William Kane proposed 10° as the cutoff to create diagnostic consistency


Prior to this, some doctors diagnosed scoliosis at 5°, 15°, or even 20°


The 10-degree benchmark became the accepted clinical standard—but not because it signified a dramatic physiological shift


✅ Why "Mild" Scoliosis Can Still Be Serious:



Even small curves (10–20 degrees) can cause pain, dysfunction, and postural changes


Many patients with 15–20 degree curves experience symptoms despite being labeled “mild”


Early misalignments are like car tires out of alignment—they wear things down over time


✅ The Problem With Chasing Numbers:



Curves less than 10° are still spinal misalignments


Scoliosis isn’t always visible until 20–25°, meaning millions go undiagnosed


Many people don’t realize they have scoliosis until adulthood, especially if pain is minimal in youth


✅ What Matters Most:



Not just the degree of curvature, but the impact on your health and function


Early detection and proactive, conservative treatment can prevent small curves from becoming severe


Look beyond the labels—what matters is how your spine is affecting your quality of life





💡 Clinical Insight:
Every severe scoliosis case started out as a smaller curve. The earlier you intervene—regardless of whether it's “mild” or not—the better your chances are to prevent long-term progression.

Episode 158: Bulging Disc in Neck & Back Symptoms & Treatment
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Bulging Discs in the Neck & Back: Causes, Symptoms, and Structural Treatment




🎙️ Episode Overview:
Bulging or herniated discs are one of the most common spinal issues patients face—especially when scoliosis or misalignment is present. In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda breaks down what causes disc bulging, why spinal structure plays such a critical role, and how to treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.




🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ What Are Spinal Discs?



Spinal discs sit between vertebrae and act as cushions and shock absorbers


Each disc has a soft inner core (gel) and tough outer layer (annulus)


They support spinal alignment, flexibility, and protect against wear and tear


✅ What Is a Bulging Disc?



A bulging disc occurs when the disc shifts or protrudes beyond its normal position


This can place pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain or neurological symptoms


Common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions


✅ Key Causes of Disc Bulging:



Spinal misalignment – shifts vertebrae, distorting disc shape


Disc desiccation – loss of hydration makes discs more prone to bulging


Trauma – car accidents, falls, and sports injuries


Repetitive microtrauma – poor posture and prolonged sitting


✅ Symptoms of Bulging Discs:



Local pain (neck or back)


Muscle spasms or stiffness


Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs


Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg)


Difficulty walking or maintaining posture


In advanced cases, bladder or bowel issues


✅ Why Treating Alignment Matters:Dr. Nalda compares a misaligned spine to an ice cream sandwich:


If you squeeze it unevenly, the "ice cream" (disc) bulges out.Until you realign the spine, the disc cannot return to normal.

✅ Conservative, Structural Approach to Treatment:



Chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignment


Rehabilitative exercises and traction


Postural re-education and ergonomic advice


Stabilization techniques to prevent recurrence


✅ What NOT to Do:



Rely solely on pain management (injections, meds) without correcting the structure


Ignore early signs like stiffness, nerve tingling, or postural changes





💡 Key Takeaway:
Bulging discs aren't just a result of aging—they’re often a symptom of deeper spinal misalignments. Fixing alignment is the first step toward real, lasting relief. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, patients receive a personalized, structural approach to not only relieve pain—but help prevent long-term degeneration.

Episode 157: Thoracic Lordosis: What Is it?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Understanding Thoracic Lordosis – What Happens When the Mid-Back Bends the Wrong Way?




Episode Summary:
Most people know the spine has curves—but not all spinal curves are good. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore thoracic lordosis, an abnormal forward-bending of the mid-back. Dr. Nalda explains how this condition differs from normal spinal alignment, why it often goes hand-in-hand with scoliosis, and what you can do to restore proper spinal shape before symptoms progress.




What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ What Is Thoracic Lordosis?



Normally, the thoracic (mid-back) spine should curve backward—a shape called kyphosis


Thoracic lordosis occurs when the curve bends forward instead, disrupting spinal mechanics


✅ Why It Matters



Thoracic lordosis weakens the spine’s ability to handle stress


It can contribute to:



Progressive scoliosis


Neck curvature issues (cervical kyphosis)


Lumbar spine instability (spondylolisthesis)


Chronic back pain, poor posture, and mobility limitations




✅ What Causes It?



Postural habits


Congenital defects


Post-surgical changes (especially scoliosis surgery with rods)


Neuromuscular conditions


✅ Connection to Scoliosis



A flat or reversed mid-back curve is often seen in scoliosis cases


Patients with flatter thoracic spines are more likely to progress rapidly during growth


The rotational nature of scoliosis can flatten or invert normal curves, worsening spinal alignment


✅ How to Fix It



You can’t "watch and wait" on structural conditions


Treatment must target the cause and curve direction


At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Dr. Nalda and his team use:



Customized in-office care


Targeted therapies to restore curve balance


Home rehab programs for long-term stability







Key Takeaway:
Thoracic lordosis isn’t “just posture.” It’s a structural issue that can cascade into scoliosis, nerve issues, and even spinal instability. But with proper diagnosis and proactive care, the spine can be reshaped and protected from further damage.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 155: Do Spine Stretches Work for Scoliosis?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Do Spine Stretches Work for Scoliosis?

Episode Summary:
Stretching can feel like a natural response to tightness and discomfort—but for scoliosis patients, not all stretches are created equal. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we dive into the question: Do spinal stretches actually help scoliosis? You'll learn the difference between improving flexibility and achieving structural correction, why stretching the wrong way can do more harm than good, and how to safely support your spine through scoliosis-specific movement strategies.

What You'll Learn:
✅ Stretching and Scoliosis: What's the Real Benefit?



Stretching may help reduce pain and improve flexibility


But stretching alone won't reduce scoliosis curves, because scoliosis is a structural condition


✅ Understanding Spinal Rigidity in Scoliosis



As the spine curves, asymmetrical muscle tension develops


Tight muscles often serve a protective role, stabilizing the spine against progression


Loosening the wrong muscles may actually accelerate curve progression


✅ Best vs. Worst Stretches for Scoliosis Patients✔️ Best:



Stretches customized to your specific curve pattern


Prescribed by scoliosis-trained professionals


Combined with strengthening exercises to balance asymmetries


❌ Worst:



Generalized or symmetrical stretches


Compressive movements


Stretches that pull on the curve in the wrong direction


✅ Why Generic Stretches Can Be Harmful



Many scoliosis curves require asymmetrical treatment


Stretching without understanding your curve type can worsen symptoms or deformity


True improvement often comes from a multimodal program including:



Stretching


Therapy


Rehab


Corrective bracing




✅ What Should You Do Instead?



Seek out a scoliosis specialist who can guide you through a safe, effective program


Don’t aim for “symmetry” at all costs—aim for balance based on your unique curve


Use stretches as a supportive tool, not a standalone solution


Key Takeaway:
Stretching may relieve discomfort, but only scoliosis-specific exercises—prescribed by trained professionals—can truly support spinal health and structural change. Avoid generic programs and focus on personalized care that addresses your spine’s three-dimensional complexity.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 154: What Are The Different Types of Scoliosis?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: What Are the Different Types of Scoliosis?

Episode Summary:
Not all scoliosis is the same. While a diagnosis of “scoliosis” can sound straightforward, the type, cause, location, and severity of the curve make a huge difference in how it should be treated. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the different types of scoliosis, what causes them, and how these distinctions impact treatment decisions.
If you or a loved one has been told, "You have scoliosis," this episode is essential for understanding what that truly means—and why personalized care is key to long-term success.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ How Scoliosis Is Diagnosed:



Defined as a sideways spinal curve of 10° or more, with rotation


Measured using a Cobb angle on spinal X-rays


Severity Categories:



Mild: 10–25°


Moderate: 25–40°


Severe: 40°+


Very Severe: 80°+




✅ Types of Scoliosis Based on Cause:



Idiopathic Scoliosis (80% of cases):



No clear cause; most common form


Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most typical subtype




Neuromuscular Scoliosis:



Secondary to conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or tethered cord


Often linked to poor muscle tone or connective tissue dysfunction




Congenital Scoliosis:



Caused by malformations during fetal development, such as hemivertebrae




Degenerative (De Novo) Scoliosis:



Develops later in life due to asymmetrical spinal degeneration, often from old injuries or unresolved misalignments




Traumatic Scoliosis:



Caused by a severe injury, such as a fall or accident




✅ Types of Scoliosis Based on Curve Location:



Cervical (Neck)


Thoracic (Mid-Back)


Lumbar (Lower Back)


Thoracolumbar (Transitional Area)


Multi-curve presentations such as double major or cervicothoracic scoliosis


✅ Why Curve Type and Cause Matter in Treatment:



Treatment plans must consider:



Causation (neuromuscular, congenital, idiopathic, etc.)


Curve location


Severity at diagnosis


Age and growth stage




These factors help determine whether a patient would benefit most from:



Chiropractic-based conservative treatment


Bracing


Specialized exercises


Therapy tailored to their unique curve pattern




Key Takeaways:
➡️ Saying "you have scoliosis" is too vague—type, cause, and location all affect treatment strategy.➡️ Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common, but other types like neuromuscular or degenerative require very different approaches.➡️ Every scoliosis curve has the potential to progress—that’s why addressing the structural problem early is essential.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, treatment plans are built around each patient's specific curve and contributing factors.

Episode 153: When is Spinal Fusion Necessary?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: When Is Scoliosis Spinal Fusion Necessary?

Episode Summary:
Spinal fusion is one of the most invasive treatment options for scoliosis—and one of the most commonly feared. But when is spinal fusion actually necessary, and what are the alternatives? In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we dive into the classifications of scoliosis, the tipping points that lead to a surgery recommendation, and why conservative treatment should be considered long before curves reach surgical thresholds.
Dr. Nalda explains the risks and realities of spinal fusion, and offers a proactive roadmap for patients looking to avoid surgery by reducing their spinal curvature early.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ What Does a Scoliosis Diagnosis Really Mean?



Defined as a sideways spinal curvature of 10° or more, with rotation.


Categories:



Mild (<25°)


Moderate (25–45°)


Severe (45°+)


Very Severe (80°+)




✅ When Is Spinal Fusion Typically Recommended?



Adolescents: Usually for curves over 45° with signs of progression.


Adults: If curve is progressing and causing pain or functional limitations.


Goal of spinal fusion: Stop progression, not necessarily improve posture or mobility.


✅ What Is Spinal Fusion Surgery?



Fuses parts of the spine using rods, screws, and hardware.


Stops movement in fused areas, aiming to prevent worsening of the curve.


Sacrifices mobility and flexibility for stability.


Does not guarantee dramatic curve reduction or cosmetic improvement.


✅ Risks of Spinal Fusion:



Infection, nerve damage, blood loss, allergic reaction to hardware


Hardware failure or shifting


Ongoing back pain, stiffness, and reduced quality of life


Curve progression can still occur, even after surgery


✅ Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment Options:



Early intervention = better outcomes


Includes:



Chiropractic care


In-office therapy


Home-based exercises


Corrective bracing




Goals:



Preserve spinal flexibility


Reduce the curve


Prevent surgery altogether




Key Takeaways:
➡️ Spinal fusion is a last-resort treatment typically reserved for severe, progressive curves.➡️ Mild and moderate curves can still cause problems and should not be ignored.➡️ Conservative, proactive care can reduce curves and eliminate the need for surgery.➡️ At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, we design personalized plans to reduce scoliosis curves and help patients avoid spinal fusion.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 151: What is Rotoscoliosis?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: What is Rotoscoliosis? Understanding Rotation in Scoliosis

Episode Summary:
Many patients diagnosed with scoliosis are told they have rotoscoliosis, but what does that really mean? In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, how rotation impacts the spine, and why some cases have more severe twisting than others.
Dr. Nalda also discusses the challenges of measuring spinal rotation, common symptoms of rotoscoliosis, and the best treatment strategies to address all three dimensions of the condition—bending, translation, and rotation—for the best long-term outcomes.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ What is Rotoscoliosis? – A type of scoliosis where spinal rotation is more pronounced.
✅ Understanding the Three-Dimensional Nature of Scoliosis:


Bending (Sideways Curve) – The most commonly recognized scoliosis feature.
Rotation (Twisting of the Spine) – Causes rib and posture asymmetries.
Translation (Shifting of the Spine) – Further misaligns posture and gait.

✅ How Does Rotation Impact Scoliosis?

Rotation almost always occurs into the concavity of the curve.
The larger the curve, the greater the degree of rotation in most cases.
More rotation = more complexity in treatment and posture correction.

✅ Why Rotation is Difficult to Measure:

Unlike Cobb angle (which measures curve severity), rotation is difficult to quantify accurately.
Current assessments rely on visual evaluation rather than precise measurements.

✅ Symptoms of Rotoscoliosis:

Uneven hips, shoulders, rib arches, and waist.
Clothes not fitting properly due to asymmetrical body structure.
Gait and coordination changes caused by spinal misalignment.

✅ Best Treatment Approach for Rotoscoliosis:

Comprehensive, 3D-focused scoliosis care that addresses bending, translation, and rotation.
Specialized therapy, traction, exercises, and bracing to reduce spinal misalignment.
Why focusing only on curve reduction without addressing rotation can lead to instability in long-term correction.

Key Takeaways:
➡️ Rotoscoliosis is simply scoliosis with a higher degree of rotation—making treatment more complex but manageable.➡️ Rotation often develops first, before the curve, making early detection crucial.➡️ Scoliosis treatment must address all three dimensions of the condition to achieve lasting correction.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer specialized programs designed to correct bending, translation, and rotation for the best possible results.

Episode 150: What is Spondylosis?
Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: What is Spondylosis? Understanding Spinal Degeneration & Treatment

Episode Summary:
If you’ve ever received a spinal X-ray or MRI and seen the word spondylosis, you may have wondered what it actually means. Many patients assume it’s a specific diagnosis, but spondylosis is a general term referring to spinal degeneration—often linked to arthritis, disc deterioration, and misalignment.
In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down what spondylosis really is, what causes it, and how it can progress into more serious conditions like spondylolisthesis. Dr. Nalda also shares the best treatment approaches to restore spinal alignment, reduce degeneration, and prevent further damage.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ What is Spondylosis? – A broad term referring to spinal degeneration, not a specific diagnosis.✅ Common Causes of Spondylosis:


Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of protective cartilage due to misalignment.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Breakdown of spinal discs, leading to loss of height and function.
Poor Spinal Alignment: Just like an unbalanced car causes uneven tire wear, spinal misalignment speeds up degeneration.

✅ What Happens if Spondylosis is Left Untreated?

Can lead to stress fractures in the spine (pars defects).
May cause spondylolisthesis, where vertebrae slip forward, worsening spinal instability.
Further disc and joint degeneration, leading to chronic pain and mobility issues.

✅ Best Treatment Approaches for Spondylosis:

Chiropractic Care: Restores spinal alignment and relieves pressure on discs and nerves.
Rehabilitation & Traction Therapy: Strengthens core muscles and improves posture.
Customized Treatment Plans: Individualized care based on severity and progression.

Key Takeaways:
➡️ Spondylosis is NOT a disease—it’s a descriptive term for spinal degeneration.➡️ Misalignment accelerates degeneration, just like poor alignment wears out car tires unevenly.➡️ Early treatment with chiropractic care and rehabilitation can slow progression and reduce symptoms.➡️ Addressing the root cause (spinal alignment) is key to preventing further damage.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode 149: Can Scoliosis Braces Be Worn Under Clothes?
In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the different types of scoliosis braces and their effectiveness in treatment. Many patients wonder which brace is easiest to wear under clothing, but the real question is: Which brace actually works to correct scoliosis?
Dr. Nalda explains the differences between traditional bracing (Boston brace, Providence brace) and corrective bracing (ScoliBrace), and why modern bracing methods not only slow down scoliosis progression but actually reduce the curve. If you or a loved one is considering bracing as part of scoliosis treatment, this episode will help you make an informed decision.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ Two Approaches to Scoliosis Treatment:


Traditional Treatment (Reactive) – Focuses on preventing further progression but does not reduce the curve.
Conservative Treatment (Proactive) – Works to actively reduce the curve and prevent future complications.

✅ Traditional Braces (Boston & Providence Brace):

Designed to hold the curve in place rather than improve it.
Uses two-dimensional compression, which can worsen rib deformities and be uncomfortable.
Compliance issues due to discomfort and lack of visible results.

✅ Corrective Bracing (ScoliBrace):

Uses three-dimensional correction, reducing the scoliosis curve instead of just stabilizing it.
Custom-designed for each patient using 3D scanning and CAD-CAM technology.
Easier to wear, more comfortable, and fits better under clothing.
95% compliance rate because patients see visible improvements, making them more likely to wear the brace.

✅ Why Compliance is Crucial for Bracing Success:

Braces must be worn 18+ hours per day for maximum effectiveness.
If a brace is uncomfortable or ineffective, patients are less likely to wear it.
Corrective braces make compliance easier because they reduce the curve over time, making them more comfortable as treatment progresses.

Key Takeaways:
➡️ Traditional braces (Boston, Providence) aim to hold the curve in place, but they do not correct scoliosis.➡️ Corrective braces (ScoliBrace) actively work to reduce the scoliosis curve while improving posture and comfort.➡️ A properly designed, custom brace is easier to wear, fits better under clothing, and encourages better compliance.➡️ The best brace is the one that patients will actually wear—and ScoliBrace achieves that by delivering real results.

Episode 147: Can Chiropractors Treat Scoliosis?
In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the role of chiropractic care in scoliosis treatment. While traditional chiropractic adjustments can help manage pain and improve function, they are not designed to correct scoliosis. Dr. Nalda explains the differences between general and specialized scoliosis chiropractic care, highlighting the importance of a multi-modal approach that actively reduces the spinal curve rather than just treating symptoms.
If you or a loved one has scoliosis and is considering chiropractic care, this episode will help you understand the right approach to scoliosis treatment and why a specialized program is necessary for long-term improvements.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ What is Scoliosis? – Understanding scoliosis as a three-dimensional spinal condition involving bending, twisting, and structural misalignment.
✅ Can General Chiropractic Care Treat Scoliosis? – Why traditional chiropractic care helps with pain relief but does not stop curve progression.
✅ The Difference Between Traditional and Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care:


Traditional Care: Low-dose, long-term adjustments focusing on pain relief.
Scoliosis-Specific Care: High-dose, short-duration treatment (intensive care) aimed at reducing the curve.

✅ What Does Scoliosis-Specific Chiropractic Care Involve?

Spinal adjustments combined with therapy, rehabilitation, bracing, and exercises.
A multi-modal approach designed to correct the scoliosis curve, not just manage symptoms.

✅ Why Watching and Waiting is Risky:

Many orthopedic doctors take a passive approach, recommending observation until surgery becomes necessary.
Meanwhile, gravity and daily stressors continue to worsen the curve, leading to a more severe condition over time.

✅ The Importance of Proactive Treatment – How early intervention with scoliosis-specific chiropractic care can reduce the curve, restore spinal function, and prevent long-term complications.
Key Takeaways:
➡️ Chiropractic care can be effective for scoliosis—but only when part of a specialized, structured program.➡️ Traditional chiropractic adjustments alone do not correct scoliosis.➡️ An intensive, high-dose approach using adjustments, rehabilitation, and therapy can help reduce the scoliosis curve.➡️ Watching and waiting allows scoliosis to progress, making future treatment more difficult.

Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
As a scoliosis chiropractor known worldwide for his expertise, Dr. Tony Nalda shares insights and hope for patients and parents who have received a scoliosis diagnosis. Traditional scoliosis treatments prescribe years of "watching and waiting" instead of decisive action. Patients can be told to wear cumbersome, embarrassing braces for 20 or more hours a day. Eventually, expensive, invasive surgery often becomes the only option for treatment. It doesn’t have to be this way! The chiropractic-centered approach to treating scoliosis is proactive, effective and hopeful. In this podcast, Dr. Tony Nalda describes the realities of scoliosis and busts some of the more prevalent myths about treating the condition. But my primary goal is to give patients and parents hope. Surgery can often times be avoided. Treatment can be proactive and effective. Spinal curvatures can be reduced. Patients can live rich, full, and active lives.
