What if scoliosis isn’t just a structural issue, but a whole-body, neurological adaptation?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Morningstar, a board-certified expert in chiropractic, functional, and naturopathic medicine, to explore scoliosis through a deeper, integrative lens. 

From hormones and brain mapping to posture retraining and nutrition, this conversation reframes how we understand and treat spinal curvature.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 • The different types of scoliosis (idiopathic, neuromuscular, degenerative) and when they typically develop

• Why scoliosis may be driven by neurological patterns, hormones, stress, and whole-body imbalances

 • The role of bone density, vitamin D3 + K2, and posture retraining in slowing progression

• New insights on treatment, including laser acupuncture + Schroth therapy and functional medicine approaches

If you’re ready to move beyond a purely structural view of scoliosis, this episode will expand how you assess and support your patients. 💜
