Writer,
Just one more comment, as I'm confused as to why you decided to challenge my view point, seeing as it seems to match yours. I concluded my first post on this thread by saying the following....

Wow, that came out of nowhere! Did you actually bother to read any of my following statements or posts? I think we're in agreement on the potential for positive bone deformation... . ...

Tracy,

"Flexing" or contracting muscles is precisely what moves bones. By themselves they're just relatively solid objects with absolutely no mechanism or means to move themselves. It is your...

Proudmom,

My opinion... Don't return! As nice as this man may be, his health/safety standards are questionable at best, "praying" doesn't belong in medical/health practices (doing that in the...

Not at all. That's why I said "fill to your liking/ability". One gallon of water weighs 8 pounds,... One could only fill a small amount to equal one pound if they like... or something in between...

Proudmom,

Just thought I'd make note that regardless of what the chiro says to downgrade the nerve sensations, it is not a normal or acceptable. Nerve impingement, whether temporary/intermittent...

That was rather uncalled for... ???

It's possible, but not always successful and not always the primary or sole cause of the scoliosis. Such membrane alterations can be present with other factors as well, ...such as syrinx or...

Gerbo & Stephanie,
I apologize for stepping into your discussion. I'll just agree to disagree on some things and leave it at that. I think we do misunderstand one another sometimes... this can be...

Gerbo,

My apologies.. I was not intending to "misrepresent" you... You just gave a hopeful comment followed by an unsolicited and unnecessary disclaimer. I guess it's my problem really because it...

Karen,
