Scoliosis

[Nicolas]

I have a patient aged 15 suffered for 3 years of scoliosis from left to right starting from the sacrum back side. The form of scoliosis is „harmonieus“ and passes through the axis of the body at the diaphragm. Scoliosis probably grew pretty quickly so she had to stop practicing gymnastics in the months that followed the shock. There was no sign of scoliosis before the accident.

from what I understood, she had a big emotional shock following the death of two pets (cat and rabbit) which she was the owner since a very young age. It is followed by a refusal of food and absence from school for two weeks. When, at the first meeting, I asked her how she feels now compared to this event, she broke into tears.

Her family environment has not left her the full expression of her pain, not understanding that pets can generate so much trouble.

At the medical levels, it does not seem to be prone to scoliosis (none in the family), there has been no investigation at a degenerative disease. She tried to wear a brace but without results. Her doctor wants to operate her by March-April (screws and plates in the spine).
From my point of view and feeling, I think it’s her emotional shocks that triggered her scoliosis. The internal organs are taken out, bringing with them the body structure. In addition to the contracted back muscles especially on the side where passes the spine, there is a great difference in her psoas major muscles between the left and the right, ranging from single to double.

Her general condition is good, she does not feel pain except late afternoon.

I oriented her to a psychotherapy to disable blockage, and I treat her once a week. After two shiatsu her pain diminished.

Could you give me your opinion on this case (other treatments, directions, must operate or any chance to straight her)?

Dear Nicolas,</p>
<p>It is difficult for me to say asomething relyable about this young lady. It must be a very strong and quick development of scoliosis, otherwise doctors would not suggest an operation like this. </p>
<p>It is possible, that the psychological trauma because of the death of these two pets is one factor that triggerewd this scoliosis. However, I am pretty sure, there are also other factors involved including genetical factors. Also a scoliocic not seldom develops with puperty; being 15 years this young lady may still be in her puperty or at its end. The time of puperty is a time a major changes, full of internal and external conflicts and crises. Scoliosis may be a solution to some of these conflicts.</p>
<p>Generally speaking it only makes sense to perform such an operation as this doctor intends to do, when there are strong symptoms, most important pain. The intended operation stiffens the spine so it cannot properly react anymore to the manyfold challenges of life. This can have grave consequences and should be avoided unless there is no other way. If there is no pain or other serious symptoms it is therefore my opinion is that she should not be operated, but treated with different possible methods, Shiatsu being one of them. </p>
<p>In your work, follow the process of diagnosis, especially the principles of meridianfree Shiatsu, working with the patterns that she and her body show. This can be highly effective in stopping the development of the scoliosis. However, you may have to experiment quite a bit until you find the right approach. Your Shiatsu may sometimes be very physical with strong physical pressure in the right places and very energetical with Ki-projection in other places. In any case it will need a lot of patience on her side as well as on yours.</p>
<p>I would be happy if you keep us informed about the development.</p>
<p>With love,</p>
<p>Wilfried
