Scoliosis World is about all things scoliosis. Dr. Morningstar takes you through the ins and outs of the lesser known aspects of scoliosis, from its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment to the influence of things such as genetics and neurotransmitters and their effects on the condition.

  • 33 Scoliosis World: The Myth of Curve-Centered Care

    33 Scoliosis World: The Myth of Curve-Centered Care
    Dec 23 2025
    Episode 33 - Scoliosis surgery is often presented as a permanent solution for spine curvature, but it may not address the underlying functional and neurological factors that influence spinal health. In this video, we explore why surgical solutions for scoliosis aren’t always ideal and what limitations they may have when it comes to long-term mobility, adaptability, and nervous system function. We discuss how spinal fusion and other surgical interventions can restrict natural movement, shift stress to surrounding areas, and sometimes lead to compensatory patterns elsewhere in the body. From a holistic and natural spine health perspective, we look at why supporting function, balance, and movement may be an important part of scoliosis care. This video is intended for those seeking to understand non-surgical and conservative approaches to scoliosis, and why surgery may not always be the first or best option depending on the individual.

    32 Scoliosis World: Scoliosis Activity Suit
    Dec 16 2025
    Episode 32: Scoliosis World w/ Dr. Morningstar — Scoliosis Activity Suit Explained In this episode of Scoliosis World, Dr. Morningstar takes a close look at the Scoliosis Activity Suit — an emerging tool designed to work with your body’s movement patterns to influence spinal alignment and muscle coordination. We explore: • What the Activity Suit is and how it differs from traditional bracing • The theory behind muscle firing pattern retraining and rotational challenge • Real-world applications for patients, families, and clinicians • Who may benefit most and key clinical considerations This is essential viewing if you’re evaluating active vs. passive scoliosis management tools and want to understand their practical role in movement.

    31 Scoliosis World: Hormones Pt 3
    Dec 7 2025
    Episode 31 - This video, "Scoliosis World W/ Dr.Morningstar: Hormones Part 3," is the third part of a series discussing the role of hormones in scoliosis management, focusing primarily on treatment options for hormone imbalances in both teenagers and adults. The discussion is led by Dr. Morningstar and Dr. Megan Strauchman The main focus of the episode is the critical difference between conventional and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), especially in relation to adult scoliosis patients dealing with bone density issues related to perimenopause and menopause. Key Topics and Takeaways Hormones and Teenage Scoliosis The hosts emphasize a preference for an integrative and holistic approach when treating teenagers to correct hormone imbalances. [01:15] The goal is to encourage normal hormone output by utilizing natural substances like: Enzymes, precursors, or amino acids. Over-the-counter pregnenolone or DHEA. [01:29], [01:55] Lifestyle modifications are also recommended, such as minimizing exposure to environmental sources of xenoestrogens (estrogen-mimicking chemicals in plastics). [02:00] Hormone Imbalance and Adult Scoliosis In adult females, hormone problems related to perimenopause and menopause can lead to bone density issues. [02:49] These issues can cause existing scoliotic curves to progress or result in the de novo onset of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (which affects almost two out of three women over age 60). [02:56], [03:04] Proper hormone management is also linked to the brain's ability to maintain postural muscle memory, which is key for long-term success with scoliosis-specific exercises and bracing. [28:06] Conventional vs. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) The hosts dedicate a significant portion of the video to contrasting the two main types of hormone therapy: Conventional HRT (Synthetic) Bio-Identical HRT (BHRT) HRT Hormones that have been altered (e.g., with a methyl group) to make them patentable and profitable. Comes in set doses that cannot be modified to fit the individual patient's needs. [07:59] Studies, such as the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) in 2002, found an increased risk of blood clots, heart attack, stroke, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer. [10:34] BHRT Hormones that are molecularly identical to what the body once made (often plant-derived). [07:06] Is personalized and tailored to the individual patient's symptoms and blood test results. [08:55], [15:33] Perceived as safer and more effective by patients; studies show that non-oral estradiol does not increase blood clot risk and bio-identical testosterone can reduce the risk of breast cancer. [15:23], [26:09] Hormone Administration Routes The method of delivery is crucial for safety and efficacy: Estrogen and Testosterone are administered transdermally (as a cream applied to the skin). Oral administration is discouraged as it can increase the risk of blood clots (estrogen) or glucose levels (testosterone). [31:36] Progesterone is often given orally (capsules) because topical progesterone is less effective for improving sleep. [32:02] Testosterone Replacement in Males For male patients, testosterone replacement is typically done via injection (or sometimes pellets). [33:30] Topical creams are generally discouraged due to the large required doses being "goopy" and the high risk of transference to partners or family members. [34:19] Injectables should be dosed more frequently (e.g., twice a week) to avoid large "peak and trough" fluctuations in hormone levels.
