I had polio without the paralysis as a child and had to have my spine fused or they said by the time I was 12 I would be so hunched over I would crush my internal organs. Since then, I have gotten scoliosis. I am 73 yrs old. In my 40's I was told by a prominent orthopedic dr that there was nothing they could do for me, and I would be in wheelchair within 5 yrs. I then say a local doctor who specializes in NUCCA (aligning the axis). He changed my life. I can be in severe back pain and go see him and within half an hr I am free of the pain and walking straight again. The procedure is painless. Sometimes I can actually feel my spine unwinding. He is a miracle worker.
That's great that you found your way to someone who has helped you so much. I'm glad you bring up a point that I didn't and should have - that when the axis if off, there can misalignment further down the spine because of the way our body will try to compensate. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Happy New Year! You're welcome. Though the genetic roots of hypermobility, methylation issues, and copper imbalances (which can have other strong drivers) differ, they do appear to interact with one another. I hope to get into some of this in an upcoming post on hypermobility. Thank you for commenting.
I had a cervical/atlas adjustment which I was told would help with the rest of my physical injuries which i was suffering playing soccer. My cervical spine was visibly tilted to the left on an xray. Several days after, I had a huge clearing of brain fog, depression and anxiety. I am sure it was related to the adjustment. The relief lasted only days. I then went back to normal (fatigue depression anxiety and brain fog). I also have MCAS. To this day I still wonder about that neck adjustment and how it magically cleared all my symptoms. Smcardona33@outlook.com is my email if you have any info - thanks!

Wow, I have copper, methylation issues plus cervical hypermobility with bone spurs. I wonder if it's related? Thank you very much! Happy New Year!
