Hi, I'd like to hear some experiences from people who have this condition, like I do.
It's not hard to find literature that links scoliosis and malocclusion / head posture, and the concept is very easy...
Talking about so-called idiopathic scoliosis here! Not the one caused by genetic defects.
Personally, I have a mild S-shaped scoliosis and as I was growing up I was constantly told "it's not a big deal, if it does not get worse".
Now I'm 21 and it did not get worse (I am lucky to have been visited by a friend of my dad who is an expert) but I really hate how after a long day of walking I'll have lower back pain, a fatigued right side of the trapezoid muscle and my right shoulder tends to be a little higher than the left one.
Alot of people have it way worse than I do however, since this condition doesn't really affect my life in such a bad way, and it's not really visible even when I'm naked unless you're really looking for it (when you bend down you can see that one side is slight higher than the other).
Also, I have a grade 2 (mild, unlikely to worsen) varicocele, which I believe is caused by the "Nutcracker effect" = a compression of a vein that then branches into the spermatic vein, causing blood reflux and varix.
I can't be certain, but since my spine does curve to the left in the lumbar region, I think that's why I have it.
That is also not a grave condition, and I hope you're not thinking I just want to complain or I'm scavenging for sympathy. I just to give as much info as I can about my experience.
Long story short, my main drive for doing NCR (which I discovered while researching not scoliosis but malocclusion, by myself, being an odontology student) is the hope that I can improve the curve of my spine.
I've also been doing yoga for about... 1 month I think, although I skip it some times due not having alot of time mixed with the occasional laziness.
But it's not a burden at all, after you make some experience you'll start feeling so relaxed and peaceful that you'll really want to do it every day. Try!
Hope I can hear from other people about their experiences, and hopefully exchange advice.
Have a good day all
