I just wondered if any of you have ISSUES in your cervical spine as well as your thoracic or lumbar curves. My cervical spine sticks straight forward and there ought to be a natural curve in that region.
For years, I'd get terrible neck pain. Then, my physical therapist got me a Saunders Home Trac Unit. It's a rather expensive traction device specifically designed for the neck. MUCH better than the over-the-door type. Between using this device three times weekly and strengthening my upper body with Pilates, I have been able to keep pain-free in my neck area.
Apparently, I am not allowed to use the traction unit since my surgery two months ago. Nor can I lift weights in Pilates, as I did pre-surgery. Sooooo, the neck pain is back.
I am interested in knowing if some of my fellow scolis have STRAIGHT cervical spines that get them into trouble. I don't know if this problem is a twin sister to scoliosis or if it's just MY issue.
