  • Episode 151: What is Rotoscoliosis?
    Apr 29 2025
    Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What is Rotoscoliosis? Understanding Rotation in Scoliosis Episode Summary: Many patients diagnosed with scoliosis are told they have rotoscoliosis, but what does that really mean? In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, how rotation impacts the spine, and why some cases have more severe twisting than others. Dr. Nalda also discusses the challenges of measuring spinal rotation, common symptoms of rotoscoliosis, and the best treatment strategies to address all three dimensions of the condition—bending, translation, and rotation—for the best long-term outcomes. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Rotoscoliosis? – A type of scoliosis where spinal rotation is more pronounced. ✅ Understanding the Three-Dimensional Nature of Scoliosis: Bending (Sideways Curve) – The most commonly recognized scoliosis feature. Rotation (Twisting of the Spine) – Causes rib and posture asymmetries. Translation (Shifting of the Spine) – Further misaligns posture and gait. ✅ How Does Rotation Impact Scoliosis? Rotation almost always occurs into the concavity of the curve. The larger the curve, the greater the degree of rotation in most cases. More rotation = more complexity in treatment and posture correction. ✅ Why Rotation is Difficult to Measure: Unlike Cobb angle (which measures curve severity), rotation is difficult to quantify accurately. Current assessments rely on visual evaluation rather than precise measurements. ✅ Symptoms of Rotoscoliosis: Uneven hips, shoulders, rib arches, and waist. Clothes not fitting properly due to asymmetrical body structure. Gait and coordination changes caused by spinal misalignment. ✅ Best Treatment Approach for Rotoscoliosis: Comprehensive, 3D-focused scoliosis care that addresses bending, translation, and rotation. Specialized therapy, traction, exercises, and bracing to reduce spinal misalignment. Why focusing only on curve reduction without addressing rotation can lead to instability in long-term correction. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Rotoscoliosis is simply scoliosis with a higher degree of rotation—making treatment more complex but manageable.➡️ Rotation often develops first, before the curve, making early detection crucial.➡️ Scoliosis treatment must address all three dimensions of the condition to achieve lasting correction.➡️ At Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer specialized programs designed to correct bending, translation, and rotation for the best possible results.

  • Episode 150: What is Spondylosis?
    Apr 22 2025
    Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: What is Spondylosis? Understanding Spinal Degeneration & Treatment Episode Summary: If you’ve ever received a spinal X-ray or MRI and seen the word spondylosis, you may have wondered what it actually means. Many patients assume it’s a specific diagnosis, but spondylosis is a general term referring to spinal degeneration—often linked to arthritis, disc deterioration, and misalignment. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we break down what spondylosis really is, what causes it, and how it can progress into more serious conditions like spondylolisthesis. Dr. Nalda also shares the best treatment approaches to restore spinal alignment, reduce degeneration, and prevent further damage. Key Topics Covered: ✅ What is Spondylosis? – A broad term referring to spinal degeneration, not a specific diagnosis.✅ Common Causes of Spondylosis: Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of protective cartilage due to misalignment. Degenerative Disc Disease: Breakdown of spinal discs, leading to loss of height and function. Poor Spinal Alignment: Just like an unbalanced car causes uneven tire wear, spinal misalignment speeds up degeneration. ✅ What Happens if Spondylosis is Left Untreated? Can lead to stress fractures in the spine (pars defects). May cause spondylolisthesis, where vertebrae slip forward, worsening spinal instability. Further disc and joint degeneration, leading to chronic pain and mobility issues. ✅ Best Treatment Approaches for Spondylosis: Chiropractic Care: Restores spinal alignment and relieves pressure on discs and nerves. Rehabilitation & Traction Therapy: Strengthens core muscles and improves posture. Customized Treatment Plans: Individualized care based on severity and progression. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Spondylosis is NOT a disease—it’s a descriptive term for spinal degeneration.➡️ Misalignment accelerates degeneration, just like poor alignment wears out car tires unevenly.➡️ Early treatment with chiropractic care and rehabilitation can slow progression and reduce symptoms.➡️ Addressing the root cause (spinal alignment) is key to preventing further damage.

  • Episode 149: Can Scoliosis Braces Be Worn Under Clothes?
    Apr 15 2025
    In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore the different types of scoliosis braces and their effectiveness in treatment. Many patients wonder which brace is easiest to wear under clothing, but the real question is: Which brace actually works to correct scoliosis? Dr. Nalda explains the differences between traditional bracing (Boston brace, Providence brace) and corrective bracing (ScoliBrace), and why modern bracing methods not only slow down scoliosis progression but actually reduce the curve. If you or a loved one is considering bracing as part of scoliosis treatment, this episode will help you make an informed decision. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Two Approaches to Scoliosis Treatment: Traditional Treatment (Reactive) – Focuses on preventing further progression but does not reduce the curve. Conservative Treatment (Proactive) – Works to actively reduce the curve and prevent future complications. ✅ Traditional Braces (Boston & Providence Brace): Designed to hold the curve in place rather than improve it. Uses two-dimensional compression, which can worsen rib deformities and be uncomfortable. Compliance issues due to discomfort and lack of visible results. ✅ Corrective Bracing (ScoliBrace): Uses three-dimensional correction, reducing the scoliosis curve instead of just stabilizing it. Custom-designed for each patient using 3D scanning and CAD-CAM technology. Easier to wear, more comfortable, and fits better under clothing. 95% compliance rate because patients see visible improvements, making them more likely to wear the brace. ✅ Why Compliance is Crucial for Bracing Success: Braces must be worn 18+ hours per day for maximum effectiveness. If a brace is uncomfortable or ineffective, patients are less likely to wear it. Corrective braces make compliance easier because they reduce the curve over time, making them more comfortable as treatment progresses. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Traditional braces (Boston, Providence) aim to hold the curve in place, but they do not correct scoliosis.➡️ Corrective braces (ScoliBrace) actively work to reduce the scoliosis curve while improving posture and comfort.➡️ A properly designed, custom brace is easier to wear, fits better under clothing, and encourages better compliance.➡️ The best brace is the one that patients will actually wear—and ScoliBrace achieves that by delivering real results.
