Scoliosis? (sp*?) I have that too. My lower vertibra curve to the left. It makes me get un-even pumps doing deads and squats in my lower back. It does suck ass. Maybe in six months or so you can be back in the squat rack and dead lift platform. Good luck, and take it easy.

Be carefull, If your spine is curved(Scoliosis) it rarely can be fixed without sugery. I know because i had/have it. I had a 60deg curve to the right side in the middle of my spine. They had to put two titanium rods on either side of my spine.

Mine ain't that bad. It's a slight curve

Princess, me too! Its not scoliosis (although I do have a teeny touch of that) but an actual overcurvature of the natural lumbar curve. Mine is 50% over normal, chiropractor told me that at 10% you start to see clinicla signs. I alsoo have something called spondylolisthesis...

which is more worrisome. We have more xrays pending and I have to go back Monday to see where to go from there. Years of gymnastics and now weights may have something to do with it. I am a full grade I, which means my L5 is 25% slipped under the S1. I am headed to gym now to do trriceps and some low/no impact cardio, thats after doing all my leaves in my yard yesterday and then goign into work for an emergancy surgery, I was in quite a bit of pain after those things. So, I am taking it easy today.
Let me know how your adjustments are going.

clchase... mine seems to be from years of dance and lifting...

OH girl........sorry to hear that. Bad timing!!! keep up with the therapy...and keep training what you can. I pulled a hamstring once and didn't train for a while and wow did that mess me up.

Keep us up to date!!

I believe forward/backward curvature is called Kiaphosis (sp*?) lateral curvature is called scoliosis. My freind had both. As a teen he had three rods put in his spine. Made him grow three inches. He said it was very expensive. Still paying for it. Very painful. Hates needles now with a passion. Massive scaring. But it looks cool.
