Re: Osteopaths, scoliosis, and digestion.

You could be right...
What you are describing is called a viscerosomatic reflex. In this case, the congested liver causes a reflex within the nervous system to create a subluxation or misalignment in the spine. As a result, the spine begins to change structurally in order to compensate. Over time, this can and may lead to abnormal curvatures in the spine. How does it do this? The righting reflex is the process by which the fluid in our ears and our visual system interpret our environment around us. In order to keep the eyes and ears level, the spine may curve. Truthfully, only 3% of scoliosis cases are actually attributed to a structure defect in the spine that creates the curves. The majority are a result of abnormal loading of the vertebrae, postural distortions caused by misalignments in the spine.
However, by cleaning up the liver only, you will not change the structure since ligaments and bones will have changed structurally over the years. This will undoubtedly cause endangering stress on the function of the nerve system
