Shame on you for punishing your poor little gallbladder for being what you made him. Most of us understand that children need positive healthy environments to thrive. There are always outliers that are able to break the mold and be successful despite the worst conditions.

The vast majority of the time, not only is it unnecessary but it does not correct the primary cause of the condition.

There is an alternative to braces and surgery: Chiropractic care and spinal rehab. A reader requested that I inform everyone why I believe it’s important to be able to find scoliosis on one’s self or a loved one.
