Scoliosis does not originate in the spine, although it is a spinal condition. It is a condition that forms as a result of past unresolved emotions, negative experiences or even mild mental trauma experienced by a child or an adult (in cases of adult onset scoliosis) that becomes stored / stuck energetically in the body. This causes a negative cascading effect, the shortening of the natural length of certain groups of muscles which continuously exert pressure on the spine, pulling the spine out of midline (because muscles attach to bone through tendons). This muscular contraction happens because the integrity within the body’s energetic system, Chakras, Meridians or Biofield have been compromised from unresolved emotions, negative experiences or mental or physical trauma causing a physical muscular effect. The mechanism is explored on this Scoliosis page. 

As a Doctor of Chiropractic and a practitioner of Craniosacral Therapy:

“I am after Reversal of Scoliosis, not ineffective management of it.”

“I am after Scoliosis be Gone! not we have a 3* degree correction after 6 months of Schroth on a 45* degree curve, Yay!”   – Nonsense.

I want complete “Spontaneous Regression” of Scoliosis.

I want to know why a child born with a good healthy spine suddenly gets Scoliosis.

What is that cause???

The answer…… stuck, trapped, unresolved emotion experienced by that child.

The answer…… release that / those emotion(s).

– Dr. Alex Kaminsky

Craniosacral Mechanism is Structure and Function

The Autonomic Nervous System, among other components, is comprised of Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) the driving force of the Craniosacral Mechanism. CSF is interrelated with Chakras, Meridian Points and Biofield and make up the energetic components, the energetic anatomy, the physical body is dependent on.

CSF flow is the mechanism, the energetic / hydraulic system of the physical human body. CSF is the energetic conductor of life force throughout the body and when nervous system conductivity is compromised for any length of time due to stuck emotional energies, muscle tone is effected. These groups of muscles then develop insidious shortening of its length, latent trigger points and spasm, and often without pain.

Altered subconscious shortened muscle length is the result, and constant pulling on the spine causes curving stemming from the origin and insertion points of the effected group of muscles. The body is stuck in a pattern of antagonistic and agonistic muscles all living in the same tightened state. This is why the curve(s) continues to increase for most people. Taking into consideration the need for the head to always maintain the most upright and level position, an “S” shaped scoliosis forms most commonly.

Cranial Mobility is Part of the Craniosacral Mechanism

The craniosacral mechanism is the pumping mechanism of CSF, it is the liquid flow throughout the physical confines of the head and spine and further dynamic energetic essence stemming from the flow of CSF throughout the whole body.

When there is a stuck energetic disruption there becomes a lack of proper CSF flow of essence. This, among other compromises, also effects specific bones in the cranium (head) causing them to lose mobility at the sutures inhibiting the functions of the craniosacral Mechanism.

Cranial mobility is one of the most important physiological functions of a living organism. This movement within the cranium, between the plates of bones, pumps fluid throughout the body which is produced in the choroid plexus of the brain, CSF. The cranium is part of the delicate system of the Craniosacral Mechanism. When this system is compromised in a particular pattern, muscles tighten and eventually scoliosis forms.

Importance of Cranial Mobility and Scoliosis Treatment

Regarding cranial mobility, Osteopathic Physician Dr. William G. Sutherland in the 1930’s discovered the natural movement that exists in the cranium between the plates of bones at the sutures. Some decades later Dr. Harold I. Magoon, also an Osteopath stated that, “spinal scoliosis and cranial scoliosis are inseparable”. Therefore, deviation from structural symmetry within the cranial bones effects a balanced flow of CSF.

In scoliosis, one very important fact to understand is that the spine, the vertebral column itself is a passive structure comprised of bone (vertebral body), disc and ligaments. It cannot bend or twist by itself. The muscles that attach to the vertebral column via tendons are one hundred percent responsible for controlling the movement and positioning of the spine.

Therefore, in achieving scoliosis reversal, it is important to have the body release stored trauma and stuck emotions, thereby untightening contracted / spasmodic groups of muscles, and to make sure that there is ample cranial mobility and ample CSF flow.

Baby Scoliosis

Infants diagnosed with scoliosis most commonly have a misaligned cranium as a result of the birthing process. All other information, reasons, medical explanations are incorrect, according to Dr. Kaminsky. Babies are not born with a scoliotic spine. It is a condition that’s caused during labor and delivery most of the time.

Pulling, twisting and compressing the baby’s head during delivery jams up the plates of delicate bones at the sutures causing a subluxation in the head and neck, which in turn causes a decreased flow of CSF, causing the spine to curve.

Careful evaluation and palpation of the head is necessary to validate this likelihood, and if confirmed that there is cranial sutural jamming or overlapping of the plates of bone, correction efforts must be made to address cranial unjamming and realignment. The spine will then straighten automatically.

What To Look For In Infantile Scoliosis

The tell – tell signs to look for is head and facial asymmetry.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Is one ear sticking out more than the other?
• Is the ear on one side higher than the other?
• Is the forehead uneven?
• Does the mouth look symmetrical?
• Is the jaw uneven?
• Does one side of the head look flatter than the other?
• Does the baby’s head look uneven?

If the answer is yes to any of the questions above, and your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis, he or she may have sutural jamming / overlapping that is causing the spine to curve, scoliosis.

Adult Onset Scoliosis

Adult onset scoliosis is a condition discovered in a mature adult. Scoliosis that forms in adults happens for the same reasons as in children. Emotional experiences / physical trauma recently felt that becomes energetically stuck in the body. Learn more about the human body and its function, Click Here.

About Dr. Kaminsky & Craniosacral Therapy

Dr. Kaminsky earned his Chiropractic degree in the year 2000 and is licensed to practice in NY. He has since completed close to three thousand hours of continuing education seminars in various healthcare fields.

Since 2015, he is implementing primarily the hands-on techniques of Craniosacral Therapy (CST), a gentle, non-invasive, laying of the hands that brings about reversal and restoration.

The Craniosacral Mechanism is the driver of moving fluid in the body and head called cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), which is produced by the Choroid Plexus of the brain and encapsulated within the head and spine.

The craniosacral system is the hydraulic mechanism of a human being and is a component of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and (ANS) Autonomic Nervous system.

There is a function inside of your brain that autonomically generates rhythmic impulses that function to pump CSF throughout your body via the craniosacral pathways, regulating your central and peripheral nerves, nervous system and organ systems, musculoskeletal system, etc.

This moving fluid is palpable to a trained craniosacral therapist, like the heart rate, pulse rhythm, breath, that can all be seen, heard or felt, so too can the Cranial Sacral Rhythm (CSR) be palpated and diagnosed for its health.

By placing his or her hands on your body, including your head and sacrum, the therapist can detect, feel and evaluate the SQAR (symmetry, quality, amplitude, rate) of this fluid rhythm.

The health of your body and mind are dependent on the vitality of this fluid. Compromises of your CSR’s rhythmic impulse correlates to CSF flow restrictions in the system which, when the fluid isn’t flowing optimally, your bodily rejuvenation and recovery is affected.

With anatomically correct hand placement on different parts the body during a session, through gentle manipulation and mobilization the therapist guides and facilitates a positive change in that region of the body which brings forth a correction. A myofascial release in a sense.

A craniosacral therapist stimulates and helps your rhythm refocus, allowing for improvement of musculoskeletal tightness and spasms, neurological issues, organ function, many common conditions, pain, and the mind-body re-connect.

Through a practitioners properly focused and individually attuned touch, your body is facilitated to release channels of fluid stagnation and flow restriction, which ultimately breakthrough, overcome and improve your rhythmic fluid and your potential for health improvement.

The existence of the Craniosacral mechanism was first discovered by Osteopath Dr. William Sutherland in the early 1900’s, who called it Cranial Osteopathy. And many years later, renamed to Craniosacral Therapy by Osteopath, Dr. John Upledger.
