Episode 30 - In this episode of Scoliosis World, Dr. Mark Morningstar takes a deeper dive into how hormones can influence scoliosis onset, progression, pain, and fatigue — especially during puberty and rapid growth. He and his continued special guest, Dr. Megan Strauchman, explain how factors like estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, thyroid function, and stress hormones may impact spinal curves, bone density, muscle tone, and treatment results, and why standard “wait and see” approaches often miss these root causes. You’ll learn: Why some kids’ curves worsen dramatically during puberty while others remain stable How hormone imbalances can affect bone strength, posture control, sleep, and mood The role of advanced hormone and lab testing in creating a more personalized scoliosis treatment plan Practical ways parents can ask better questions and advocate for more comprehensive care 🔗 Watch now: https://youtu.be/gEdyT_vQegs Hashtags: #ScoliosisWorld #ScoliosisPodcast #HormonesAndScoliosis #AdolescentScoliosis #IdiopathicScoliosis #ScoliosisAwareness #SpineHealth #FunctionalMedicine #BackGenius #ScoliosisCare #HormoneHealth #ScoliosisMom #ScoliosisDad #TeenHealthIn www.scoliosispractice.com #scoliosis #functionalmedicine #spinehealth
