Many patients who have scoliosis (Curvature in the spine) will struggle with a distorted body image. They may feel that it is difficult to dress the way they want to. Kids growing up may ridicule them for their appearance and many other unfortunate events.
That was Abby’s situation. For 23 years she had struggled with a warped body image because of underlying upper neck misalignments that led to her developing a Scoliosis. The scoliosis and upper neck misalignments led to a variety of different health problems. Even with the healthiest diet, a great exercise program and regular stress relieving activities her health continued to deteriorate.
Here is her story…
“My whole life has been plagued by symptom after symptom; headaches, breathing trouble, allergies, foggy memory and a warped body image.
At 23, after months of misaligned yoga practice that precipitated my problems, I realized that my problems may have started at birth. My birth was very traumatic, my mom labored for 2 days and then I eventually had to be delivered via emergency c-section.
When Dr. Davis showed me my x-rays it all started to make sense. Since birth my C-1 (top bone in my neck) was out of balance.
After only 1 month of care, I feel literally brand new. My body is healing itself, finally. I walk straight, use both my hands normally, look straight forward instead of my head my turned to the right.
All the problems I had decided I had inherited and must resign myself to live with are disappearing! My heart grows every day, I am literally a happier person.
Dr. Davis has my greatest thanks and most sincere blessing.”

Who do you know that struggles because of an obvious curvature in the spine? Scoliosis can frequently be helped significantly by balancing out the head using specific upper cervical adjustments. The sooner the condition can be detected the more likely you will have a significant reduction in the scoliosis.
The longer you wait the worse it gets. So don’t put it off any longer.
