  • Episode 159: Why is 10 Degrees Diagnosed as a Scoliosis?
    2025/06/24
    Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Why 10 Degrees Is the Diagnostic Threshold for Scoliosis 🎙️ Episode Overview: Why is scoliosis officially diagnosed at 10 degrees? In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda explores the origin of the 10-degree cutoff, what it means for patients, and why the numbers don’t always reflect the impact scoliosis can have on daily life. 📌 Key Topics Covered: ✅ What Is Scoliosis? A lateral curvature of the spine of 10 degrees or more, with spinal rotation Must be measured via Cobb angle on a standing spinal X-ray Three-dimensional deformity—not just a sideways curve ✅ Cobb Angle & Severity Categories: Mild: 10–25 degrees Moderate: 25–40 degrees Severe: 40+ degrees Very Severe (Dr. Nalda’s category): 80+ degrees These classifications were originally designed by orthopedic surgeons for surgical decision-making, not necessarily for predicting symptoms or patient outcomes. ✅ Why 10 Degrees? In 1977, Dr. William Kane proposed 10° as the cutoff to create diagnostic consistency Prior to this, some doctors diagnosed scoliosis at 5°, 15°, or even 20° The 10-degree benchmark became the accepted clinical standard—but not because it signified a dramatic physiological shift ✅ Why "Mild" Scoliosis Can Still Be Serious: Even small curves (10–20 degrees) can cause pain, dysfunction, and postural changes Many patients with 15–20 degree curves experience symptoms despite being labeled “mild” Early misalignments are like car tires out of alignment—they wear things down over time ✅ The Problem With Chasing Numbers: Curves less than 10° are still spinal misalignments Scoliosis isn’t always visible until 20–25°, meaning millions go undiagnosed Many people don’t realize they have scoliosis until adulthood, especially if pain is minimal in youth ✅ What Matters Most: Not just the degree of curvature, but the impact on your health and function Early detection and proactive, conservative treatment can prevent small curves from becoming severe Look beyond the labels—what matters is how your spine is affecting your quality of life 💡 Clinical Insight: Every severe scoliosis case started out as a smaller curve. The earlier you intervene—regardless of whether it's “mild” or not—the better your chances are to prevent long-term progression. 📘 Free Resource: Download the Free Guide: How to Effectively Treat Scoliosis👉 scoliosisreductioncenter.com/free 🔗 Stay Connected: 🌐 Website: scoliosisreductioncenter.com🎧 Subscribe to the podcast🔔 Hit the bell icon to get notified of new content It’s not just about the number—it’s about the impact.

  • Episode 158: Bulging Disc in Neck & Back Symptoms & Treatment
    2025/06/17
    Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Bulging Discs in the Neck & Back: Causes, Symptoms, and Structural Treatment 🎙️ Episode Overview: Bulging or herniated discs are one of the most common spinal issues patients face—especially when scoliosis or misalignment is present. In this episode, Dr. Tony Nalda breaks down what causes disc bulging, why spinal structure plays such a critical role, and how to treat the root cause—not just the symptoms. 🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What Are Spinal Discs? Spinal discs sit between vertebrae and act as cushions and shock absorbers Each disc has a soft inner core (gel) and tough outer layer (annulus) They support spinal alignment, flexibility, and protect against wear and tear ✅ What Is a Bulging Disc? A bulging disc occurs when the disc shifts or protrudes beyond its normal position This can place pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain or neurological symptoms Common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions ✅ Key Causes of Disc Bulging: Spinal misalignment – shifts vertebrae, distorting disc shape Disc desiccation – loss of hydration makes discs more prone to bulging Trauma – car accidents, falls, and sports injuries Repetitive microtrauma – poor posture and prolonged sitting ✅ Symptoms of Bulging Discs: Local pain (neck or back) Muscle spasms or stiffness Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg) Difficulty walking or maintaining posture In advanced cases, bladder or bowel issues ✅ Why Treating Alignment Matters:Dr. Nalda compares a misaligned spine to an ice cream sandwich: If you squeeze it unevenly, the "ice cream" (disc) bulges out.Until you realign the spine, the disc cannot return to normal. ✅ Conservative, Structural Approach to Treatment: Chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignment Rehabilitative exercises and traction Postural re-education and ergonomic advice Stabilization techniques to prevent recurrence ✅ What NOT to Do: Rely solely on pain management (injections, meds) without correcting the structure Ignore early signs like stiffness, nerve tingling, or postural changes 💡 Key Takeaway: Bulging discs aren't just a result of aging—they’re often a symptom of deeper spinal misalignments. Fixing alignment is the first step toward real, lasting relief. At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, patients receive a personalized, structural approach to not only relieve pain—but help prevent long-term degeneration. 📘 Free Resource: Download the Free Guide: How to Effectively Treat Scoliosis👉 scoliosisreductioncenter.com/free 🔗 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: scoliosisreductioncenter.com🎧 Subscribe to the podcast for more episodes🔔 Hit the bell icon to get notified when new content drops Your spine can heal—if you treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

  • Episode 157: Thoracic Lordosis: What Is it?
    2025/06/10
    Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Understanding Thoracic Lordosis – What Happens When the Mid-Back Bends the Wrong Way? Episode Summary: Most people know the spine has curves—but not all spinal curves are good. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore thoracic lordosis, an abnormal forward-bending of the mid-back. Dr. Nalda explains how this condition differs from normal spinal alignment, why it often goes hand-in-hand with scoliosis, and what you can do to restore proper spinal shape before symptoms progress. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What Is Thoracic Lordosis? Normally, the thoracic (mid-back) spine should curve backward—a shape called kyphosis Thoracic lordosis occurs when the curve bends forward instead, disrupting spinal mechanics ✅ Why It Matters Thoracic lordosis weakens the spine’s ability to handle stress It can contribute to: Progressive scoliosis Neck curvature issues (cervical kyphosis) Lumbar spine instability (spondylolisthesis) Chronic back pain, poor posture, and mobility limitations ✅ What Causes It? Postural habits Congenital defects Post-surgical changes (especially scoliosis surgery with rods) Neuromuscular conditions ✅ Connection to Scoliosis A flat or reversed mid-back curve is often seen in scoliosis cases Patients with flatter thoracic spines are more likely to progress rapidly during growth The rotational nature of scoliosis can flatten or invert normal curves, worsening spinal alignment ✅ How to Fix It You can’t "watch and wait" on structural conditions Treatment must target the cause and curve direction At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Dr. Nalda and his team use: Customized in-office care Targeted therapies to restore curve balance Home rehab programs for long-term stability Key Takeaway: Thoracic lordosis isn’t “just posture.” It’s a structural issue that can cascade into scoliosis, nerve issues, and even spinal instability. But with proper diagnosis and proactive care, the spine can be reshaped and protected from further damage.
