Kyphosis, Lordosis, Scoliosis

Q:  Why don't we have codes for kyphosis (humpback), lordosis (swayback), and scoliosis (c or s curve)?

A:  Those are developmental conditions in the body that have occurred over time which have numerous contributing factors.  Thus, no codes for these.  In some cases of scoliosis, the ribs may have even grown longer on one side than another. 

What we do have in QEST is the ability to work with various factors (think bones, ligaments, muscles, spinal cord injuries, working with fascial lines--later class, and reflex pathology) weakening an area and contributing to the presence of these conditions.  We've had very good results with making these conditions much much better and if not changing curvature, at least helping to eliminate or lessen pain and increase stability.

Please share any results you've had with these.  Thanks.
