My Scoliosis Treatment |
I started showing signs of scoliosis when I was 13. It got even worse when I was 20. The doctor said I could go for surgery but it was too costly and I could not afford it. But recently, I found a treatment that is cost-effective and that works...My Scoliosis TreatmentFor those of you who are not sure what scoliosis, is you can check it out on Google or something. But in a nutshell, it is a type of bone-deformation. My spine slants to the right. And my right shoulder drops lower than my left, and my head is also tilted to the right. And if left untreated, it would get worse and worse. Here's the story:I went to have my hair cut at a different barbers' shop and the barber noticed my scoliosis: neck slanting to the right, right shoulder drooping down and spine curving. He easily noticed it because I have like less than 10% fat and my being underweight. So he recommended me to a taiwanese martial artist + physician + doctor of some kind, called Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen is a professional "bone adjuster" so to speak. Like if you've ever seen some movies when some guys get into a fight and they get their joints dislocated and then another guy pulls his arm, giving it a snap and he screams in pain, and then says the arm is healed. OK, so Dr. Chen is also well-known for fixing spinal problems, and scoliosis is one of them. According to him, there are certain treatments for scoliosis of my type but most are not beneficial: 1. Leaving it alone - will cause serious problems later 2. Surgery to rearrange the bones - expensive 3. Getting a metal rod - the rod will force the spine straight but will not actually cure it. It will also make the spine stiff, leading to poor blood circulation, and is not recommended. His treatment is a lot different from the 3. I don't know how to call it... I had my 1st treatment back in March. In the first session, he had me lie on a jamblock. That's what they call it. It's a bit like the benchpress without the barbell. Then I had to grip the top part and my hips are tied to the machine. Then my body is pulled hard, like being on the medieval pulling torture bed. And Dr. Chen told me to sway my hips from side to side. It sounds painful and is a bit painful at first, but after a while, when the bones loosen up, the pain is gone. This session goes on for about 5 minutes. Next! He tells me to lie facedown and it's basically the same treatment, pulling my body. This goes on for about 5 minutes too, but occassionally, he would massage my back whilst my body is being pulled. Now that is the painful part. The 3rd session involves the actual adjustments. Now that my backbone is loose from the pulling, he can easily do the necessary adjustments. The adjustments he gave me during my first sessions were mild crackings. But during my second session, he gave me various adjustments that resemble wrestling submission holds. The most painful one being the abdominal stretch. According to him, it was needed to straighten the bent part of my backbone. Dr. Chen said I had to do lots of sessions with him: one session a day. He said treatment for scoliosis is unlike the ordinary treatment where the bones are out of place and just need some adjustments. He said the adjustments for my spine had to be done over a longer span of time, about several months. Each session costs me about US$17. So, 30 days of treatment is just $510. Sure beats surgery or metal rods. Before I got to know Dr. Chen, I asked about how much I need to pay for scoliosis surgery and the doc said tens of thousands... Below are before-and-after pics of the treatment. Pretty amazing. I will be continuing treatment until my back is completely straight.
