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.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda
Episode Title: Avoiding Surgery – Bianca’s Scoliosis Success Story
Episode Summary:
When Bianca was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age, she was initially told that surgery was her only option. With a 65-degree spinal curve, multiple doctors recommended spinal fusion. However, through intensive scoliosis care and dedicated home exercises, Bianca was able to reduce her curve to 45 degrees, avoiding invasive surgery altogether.
In this inspiring episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, Bianca shares her personal journey—how scoliosis affected her daily life, the difficult decision to reject surgery, and how conservative scoliosis treatment helped her take control of her health. Dr. Nalda also explains why scoliosis is not just an injury, but a developmental condition that requires specialized treatment beyond traditional chiropractic care.
Key Topics Covered:
✅ Early Scoliosis Detection – How school screenings helped Bianca catch her scoliosis early.
✅ The Traditional Approach to Severe Scoliosis (Surgery Recommendation):
Orthopedic surgeons recommend surgery for curves over 45 degrees, especially in growing children.
Spinal fusion can lead to stiffness and chronic pain, affecting quality of life.
✅ Why Conservative Scoliosis Treatment Works:
Intensive therapy can halt progression and reduce the curve naturally.
Customized exercises, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation helped Bianca improve her spine alignment.
✅ Avoiding Surgery with Hard Work & Commitment:
Bianca’s curve reduced from 65 to 45 degrees through consistent treatment.
Daily 30-minute home exercises helped maintain and further improve her progress.
✅ The Role of Lifestyle & Posture in Scoliosis Progression:
Playing the banjo put asymmetrical weight on her spine, potentially influencing her curve.
Understanding postural habits can help prevent worsening over time.
✅ Bianca’s Passion for Music & Overcoming Challenges:
Bianca and her sister have turned their struggles into music, releasing an album titled "Growing Wings".
Their song "Limitless" is about pushing past obstacles and achieving goals—a message that resonates with anyone facing challenges like scoliosis.
Key Takeaways:
➡️ Scoliosis is NOT just an injury—it’s a progressive, developmental condition that requires specialized treatment.
➡️ Surgery is not the only option, even for severe cases—dedicated scoliosis care can significantly reduce curves.
➡️ Early intervention leads to better results, but even larger curves can be improved with the right approach.
➡️ Hard work now means better long-term health—Bianca chose a proactive approach over a quick fix and is healthier because of it.
