      My SI was pushed back, my hip joints pulled and Atlas pushed. No longer high blood pressure, no migrens, no headackes, no dizzyness, strength back in my legs, no back pains,...

      Here a video when my friend was treated. It is quite similar, but that Atlas part is not shown... I think I can find one video where that is included. Anyway here is this video (64MB), quite big!

        Couldn't get it

        I tried downloading this film and all I got was a blue circle with a question mark in it.

          Can't download either

          At any rate, if this works it must be for people with small curves, and I don't think a person with such a big curve like myself(it used to be 60 degrees) would have had success getting corrected. Maybe it wasn't visible, but my hips were never uneven, I remember how the doctors were surprised by that.

            I concur with katblack. My advice is to find another doctor. So many doctors are conditioned to just throw up their hands and say they can't do anything, or worse, to minimize the problem and tell you "it's all in your head."

            You should tell your doctor you want to examine the x-rays yourself. Take them to another doctor.

            I have a similar situation to yours, except I didn't find out about mine until I was 34, despite having complained of severe bouts of back pain for the past 7 years. Most doctors don't seem to give a damn about treating pain.
            28 degrees cervicothoracic, 34 degrees thoracolumbar, not diagnosed until age 34. Get yourself and your children screened early!
