I've been seeing this patient for nearly 20 years. She's now in her fifties and has had a very obvious scoliosis since middle school. I took my first KST seminar, and I had no expectations of adjusting her. Her scoliosis disappeared after 3 KST adjustments - and hasn't returned.

I have another miraculous scoliosis story. A 72-year-old woman came to see me following a "minor" car accident that she believes is not the cause of the pain and lack of motion in her neck. We've been friends for three years and I've asked her several times to consider seeing me. She's never been to a chiropractor before.

I adjusted her cranium only, and the pain left her neck. But her body kept directing me elsewhere. When adjusting the hump pattern, I observed an obvious lateral curve T-3 to T-8 to the right - her spine was practically under her scapula. She said it's just sort of always been there.

As I adjust the right anterior ribs, she remembers a fall on her right shoulder 6 or 7 years ago, after which she couldn't raise her arm above her head. I go POS with the shoulder, and pretty soon she has a 50% increase in motion.

Next adjustment: sphenoid pattern again and then clear.

When she returned four days later for her third appointment, her scoliosis was so slight as to be almost completely gone.
