Scoliosis Correction w/ Dr. Mike Janzen | Health & Care Ep 12

Looking from front-to-back, the gross alignment of your spine should be a vertical straight line. If there are lateral (side to side) curves in the spine, it is called, "scoliosis". 12 to 20% of adults have scoliosis. 23% of people with scoliosis reported their pain level as horrible, excruciating, or distressing. If you catch scoliosis early, there can be some hope for reversing some of the deleterious curves. Catch it after you stop growing and it's more about management than correction. Let's take a deep dive into causes and treatment protocols for scoliosis.

I am proud to present Dr. Michael Janzen. He received his BS in Biology (Systems Physiology), Summa Cum Laude, in 1996 at San Jose State University. He finished his doctorate program at Palmer College of Chiropractic West, as Valedictorian, in 1999.

He is a pioneer in the treatment of scoliosis and has offices in California and Oklahoma. He has the other post-doctorate certifications of Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (C.C.E.P) and Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.)He has extra degrees well rounded in all types of injuries and treatment protocols has helped him better understand the injuries of the human body.

He is the doctor to whom I refer adolescents with scoliosis. I would challenge any doctor in the world that Dr Janzen's results with scoliosis, as seen in before and after radiographic and MRI imaging, are the best there is. His average curve corrections of 30 to 50% keep people from going under the knife and help them look forward to their future. This is not an easy task for the doctor or the patient and, with greater compliance to his treatment plan, some see results of 60 to 80% curve correction.
