Skoliose ist keine Fehlstellung – was wirklich dahinter steckt

Dr. Matthias Meier views scoliosis not as a defect but as an intelligent adaptation of the body, and an attempt to compensate for lost mobility and natural wave function of the spine.

The body creates compensation mechanisms, such as the lateral curvature in scoliosis, to restore essential functions and balance within the spinal system.

Understanding the spine's natural wave-like structure is crucial, as scoliosis can be seen as an effort to restore this natural waveform when it's compromised.

To properly understand scoliosis, the spine must be considered in both front-to-back and side-to-side perspectives, not just anteroposteriorly.

The goal in treating scoliosis should be to restore spinal function, movement, supply, and self-regulation rather than forcefully straightening it.

Vertebral stiffening and loss of movement, often resulting from traditional corrective approaches, can lead to new problems and hinder the body's natural adaptive capacity.

Surgical interventions for scoliosis are appropriate only in specific cases, and their potential benefits and risks, including the loss of movement, must be carefully weighed.
