A Letter to Andrew Subieta: Scoliosis
 |
| Look for these signs in your child |
My niece Ashley suffered painfully from significant spinal curvature from scoliosis limiting her mobility. Hospital specialists left Ashley completely on her own with the following unhelpful advice: “Exercise more, no treatment is necessary and when your condition gets worse, you will qualify for surgery.”
Ashley saw Andrew when she was 14 during the critical window of time when scoliosis could still be improved significantly. By age 15, Ashley’s scoliosis curve was no longer noticeable. When I asked Ashley, now 17, how Andrew’s treatments changed her life, she said:
“My posture and mobility improved. My back pain and headaches are gone. The laser therapy healed my dislocated knee. My gym class grade improved from C to A. My proudest moment was when I dragged a 180 lb. guy with a rope from one end of the gym to the other!!!”
Andrew’s treatments are extremely effective because he’s the only osteopath in Canada who skillfully combines osteopathy, massage, electrotherapy and low intensity laser therapy. Andrew has that rare magic touch, intuitively performing osteopathy like a gifted artist.
Ashley’s younger sister Lauren, age 13 also went to see Andrew because her spine was significantly twisted to one side from scoliosis. Now Lauren’s spine is completely straight. Lauren often fell asleep during the massage part of treatment as soothing jazz, opera or classical music played in Andrew’s cozy office. If you have children with scoliosis, don’t wait until it’s too late - go see Andrew now! - Shirley of Thornhill, Ontario #scoliosis #osteoklinika#andrewsubieta #twistedspine

Bio-Structural Integration™ is a unique, trademarked pain rehabilitation process at Osteoklinika. Over 15 years ago we discovered that therapy centered on only one system simply does not work!
Why? The body functions as a unit. When we get injured the central nervous system may be affected, the joints will develop misalignment, the muscles will be in spasm, connective tissue and fascia become tight, the inflammatory process sets in, even internal organs can be affected. Every cell in our body works synergistically together to maintain homeostasis.
When one system is disturbed the other cannot function properly. In our method of Bio-Structural Integration™ we address the dysfunction at every level.
Within one treatment Cranial Osteopathy is used to release central nervous system lesions. After that Osteopathic Structural Adjustments are used to correct the joints, followed by Myofascial Release of connective tissue.
Neuromuscular Massage is implemented to reduce muscular tension, and Electrotherapy helps to interrupt the pain cycle.
All of the above is done within a one-hour treatment. After the structure is realigned, we recommend BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy to deal with inflammation. Now the healing is stimulated at the cellular level. This session may take 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the condition being treated. Elimination of inflammatory process assists in structural stabilization of the joints.
The program of rehabilitation is a 5-week process and provides consistently over 90% of success in bringing back a pain-free life. If you have tried every possible known therapy and still have pain, you should never give up! During many years of my practice I developed protocols for numerous difficult-to-treat conditions.
