Beyond the Curve: The Real Root Causes of Scoliosis
3 months ago
- Scoliosis is a whole-body condition—not just a spinal curve
Dr. Mark Morningstar explains that scoliosis is often an adaptive response by the brain, influenced by neurological, hormonal, genetic, and metabolic factors. Treating only the curve may overlook the root causes driving progression. - Hormones, neurology, and gut health all play a critical role
Imbalances in progesterone, serotonin, and melatonin, along with neurological processing issues and gut dysfunction, can impact muscle coordination, bone growth, and spinal alignment—especially during key growth phases like puberty. - Early, proactive intervention leads to better outcomes
Rather than “watch and wait,” addressing underlying factors early—through nutrition, metabolic support, neurological retraining, and movement-based therapies—can help prevent curve progression and improve long-term results.
