Scoliosis
| Scoliosis (from Greek: skoliōsis
meaning from skolios, "crooked") is a medical condition in which a
person's spine is curved from side to side. Although it is a complex
three-dimensional deformity, on an X-ray, viewed from the rear, the
spine of an individual with scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C"
than a straight line.

I have a curvature of the spine - one curve on top at T3, T4, T5 and the other
at the base of my spine. It's an "S" curve. For a long time, I had discomfort on
my left hip. It often got so bad that I'd have a massage just to release the
discomfort at that spot. I also needed a chiropractic adjustment about once a
month. I put a PowerPatch
Kenko PowerPatch over the spot on my hip for a few nights and the
discomfort pretty much disappeared. After about a month on the Sleep System
Kenko Sleep System, all
discomfort is gone. I also do not need chiropractic adjustments as often. When I
went to the chiropractor this week, there was a very noticeable change in my
spine. The type of adjustment I needed was different from anything I had in the
past.

The first Gold Wellness Consultant in my state is an adult in his thirties who
has scoliosis. He has been on the Sleep System
Kenko Sleep System for over five
years now and his height is now over an inch taller than it used to be.

A few months back my husband and I went to a Wellness Preview. I have mild
scoliosis with constant pain in my upper and middle back. Also
I have sciatica
affecting my left leg for the last 19 years. I have learned to live with my pain
and don't believe in medication. I had found some relief from a very good
chiropractor. At the Preview they sat me on a KenkoSeat
KenkoSeat and put Magsteps
Magsteps under
my feet while a gentleman spun the Magboy
Magboy close to my leg. An hour later they
asked me how I felt. I didn't lie and I said that all the pain is still there.
The next morning I woke up, got dressed, went to work and only around 10 am I
realized that I was wearing high heels. I had walked almost 1/2 mile on hard
surface and carpet and was still full of energy. The word I used to describe the
feeling was "euphoria." This feeling lasted 2-3 days. Now I'm sleeping on a
Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper
Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper, have the KenkoSeat and Magsteps in my shoes. My
pains have disappeared. I do feel some discomfort if I sit too long at my desk.

My wife was diagnosed by her doctor to have severe scoliosis
and several other serious problems in her back. The doctor even wrote a
prescription for a medication that would help to relieve the discomfort. The
prescription has never been filled. My wife has a high threshold when dealing
with extreme discomfort, but she attributes the products with helping her to
live with the problem and to do so with such great relief that she is able to
function very well.
She uses the complete Sleep System
Kenko Sleep System when sleeping. And, when she is up and about,
she wears a Flex
Kenko Flex pad on her lower back. She also takes three Joint
Kenzen Joint
capsules every day and wears Magstrides
Magstrides in any shoes into which they fit.

I have scoliosis and had my height checked in March '06 and I
was a hair under 5 feet. They still let me claim the 5 feet. We got our Sleep System
Kenko Sleep System about the middle of September '06 and I went the Friday after
Thanksgiving to my regular Kaiser doctor for a yearly physical. My height was
checked there and I was 5' 1-3/4". I was totally shocked and blown away! I asked
the nurse to measure me one more time. She did and it was the same. I was
thrilled!
I still use my walker because I cannot stand for long periods of time and it
helps protect my back to use the walker for distances, etc. I don't even use a
cane in the house. This has been a rich blessing to me! I love the NIKKEN
products!
Joyce
I have scoliosis and I am an avid wearer of the Flex
Kenko Flex, sit on a
KenkoSeat
KenkoSeat in the car, and wear the Elastomag Back Belt
Elastomag Back Belt when I do outside work or
even housework. I also wear the CardioStrides
CardioStrides a couple of days a week as they
help with my alignment of the whole body. Keeping the body pH level, where it
needs to be, also helps my discomfort level, so I drink plenty of PiMag water
PiMag Aqua Pour Gravity System.
Susie
I have helped several people with scoliosis. The first person I helped was 73
and had made several trips to the emergency room because of the discomfort. She
also did not sleep in bed but spent the night in her recliner. I put her on the
Sleep System
Kenko Sleep System and after a few nights she slept all night through in her bed. She
purchased the entire Sleep System, Magsteps
Magsteps, Flex
Kenko Flex for lower back, and both
Liver Support
Kenzen Liver Support and Joint
Kenzen Joint.
