Questionable source of information!
Expatient,
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I just finished reading some of your past posts on other topics and it's become shockingly apparent that you're sources of information are questionable at best. I don't know where you get this stuff from or who your chiropractor is, but you've been severely misled along the way.
In one post you claim carpel tunnel syndrome is caused by nerve impingment in/around the cervicals... that's more accurately related to thoracic outlet syndrome. In another you state that 'tennis elbow' is caused by nerve impingement as well... tennis elbow is the lay term for lateral epicondylitis (inflamation of the tissues at the lateral epicondyle... not nerve impingement.
It sounds as though you're getting a lot of your 'theories' from a chiropractor with questionable intentions and knowledge. Everything revolves around pinched nerves in the spine, subluxations, the atlas, the si joints, etc... .
Again, it's not to diminish the benefit you've received from these approaches.. but you stated earlier that your "scoliosis" was "mild" and "never measured". So it doesn't sound as though you fully understand the severity of some of these peoples cases... Adjusting the si joint, the hip or changing a pelvic tilt is not going to offer much more than symptomatic pain relief for most folks. Chiropractic has value, but in the case of scoliosis if you don't address the connective tissue restrictions that have developed over time to support and conform to the curvature, adjustments will be futile at best. (with the exception of a few).
It sounds as though you have a desire to learn about your body... I would recommend finding some new sources though. It's probably not a good idea to learn from a home video someone posted on the internet.
