According to the CDC, millions of the elderly population (over the age of 65) fall. While some falls may cause no harm, some may be severe enough to land an elderly patient in hospital with possible broken bones. The risk for falling increases with age due to a number of factors and may include balance problems, visual disturbances, medications and environmental factors (like tripping over a telephone cord). Back pain is a major factor that must also be considered under this list of items. Read all about this in the infographic supplied by the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress. If you are battling with back pain related to falling, please consult your CASA-registered chiropractor today to assist: https://membership.chiropractic.co.za/Public/

THE INTERVERTEBRAL DISC HYDRATION💧💦

The center of your intevertebral discs (called the nucelus pulposus) are 88% type II collagen water

Reduction in disc hydration results in disc degeneration (a.k.a. Degenerative Disc Disease)

Spinal discs don't have their own blood supply and therefore the disc cells depend on diffusion from blood vessels at the disc's margins to supply the essential nutrients. This process requires adequate hydration for optimal hydrostatic pressure

If the nucleus pulposis (center) of your disc isn't well hydrated, additional pressures are placed on the more fibrous ring, which can lead to disc bulges and herniations

Spinal disc hydration is facilitated both by exercise and rest

This hydration of your bones and discs is key for shock absorbtion

Lack of water increases your body's inflammatory response

Lack of water also increases pain sensitivity

Is it okay for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) to participate in sport? And, if so, is sport a viable ‘treatment’ approach for these growing children? There are so many questions relating to sport and its appropriateness for these adolescents. AIS is already a complex three-dimensional condition where parents and patients are often left frustrated by the ‘wait and see’ approach. Sport, even without scoliosis, has so many potential health benefits and so it’s imperative to be well equipped to know the answers to the likely questions.

**DISCLAIMER: full consent was given by the patient to post these pictures **

A scoliosis isn't just a side-ways bend of the spine. It's a side bend with a rotational component. There is some form of distortion in all planes of movement. Therefore when trying to correct the curve you have to address all three planes of the spine.

Here you can see our special patient Thando with a double curvature (right thoracic convex and left lumbar convext). The red line depicts where the centre of gravity needs to be with respect to the first sacral vertebra. (Note that the laser was placed over the actual vertebra. Don't let the seems of her leggings deceive you) In the first picture you will notice how "off centre" her centre of gravity is.
•Her left hips is tilted towards the floor
•Her right hip is rotated forward
•Her left shoulder has dropped downwards and rotated backwards
•Her thorax has collapsed on the right
•Majority of her centre of gravity is leaning to the left.

Using these inspections and measurements, a corrective movement was designed and implemented to suit this patients body in order to "unwind" the spine and bring her towards what would be perceived as a "straight" spine.
Now have a look at the second picture. The patient’s centre of gravity is almost right in the centre. The rotations and the tilts of the different areas have been corrected to give us a beautiful posture.

From this position, a full rehabilitation program is designed to strengthen and correct the muscles individually to aim for a straighter posture which will decrease disability that can form from a scoliosis. A lot of work still needs to be done by this patient in the form of regular chiropractic and scoliosis specific rehab as well as a home program that is designed specifically for her.

I am SUPER proud of this girl! She gives 100% effort each session and has made amazing progress!
