One of the greatest areas of confusion in regard to scoliosis has to do with its cause. Many mothers are burdened with a sense of guilt, feeling that scoliosis was "in their genes" and somehow "passed down" to their son or daughter. Although an article in the Scientific Journal of Spine (which is considered by many to be the top orthopedic journal in the world, accepting only 13% of submissions) came out recently stating that no specific gene has even been linked to scoliosis, much of the current resources and energy of the scientific community remain committed to the search. Perhaps they would do well to consider a study published back in 1992, suggesting that perhaps the cause of scoliosis can be traced to an injury to the part of the brain responsible for coordinating motor & sensory input. This condition, referred to as Kinetic Imbalance due to Suboccipital Strain, or "KISS," is well-documented in scientific literature and is generally found in newborns due to birth trauma such as Caesarean section, multiple births, prolonged labor, or the use of extraction devices.
An excellent link to more information about KISS, as well as its causes & symptoms, can be found at:http://www.madebyyou.be/kiss/page.php?page=9
In this study, published in the Journal of Manual Medicine and entitled, "Kinetic Imbalance due to Suboccipital Strain in Newborns," over 600 children with evidence of KISS were evaluated. The authors noted that this condition, if left unchecked, could lead to postural problems such as scoliosis, due to the interference on the nerves that are responsible for coordinating the motor input from the body with the sensory input from the eyes. There is also correlating information about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and interference with these nerves (read more about this at: http://www.clear-institute.com/docs/SIDS.pdf).
But is chiropractic safe for children? In one study of chiropractic treatment for SIDS, over 20,000 children were treated without a single one experiencing an adverse event. Compare this to the fact that in 2004-2005, more than 1,500 children under age two were treated in U.S. emergency rooms for medical events caused by cough and cold medications, and 3 deaths were reported.
