Yes, heat in many cases will warm the connective tissue and will increase circulation. If your low back pain is chronic in nature is advised to use heat.

I will definitely seek out an physical evaluation of his cervical and thoracic spine including imaging of the spine to rule out any degeneration that might be occluding his nerves at the nerve root or spinal cord.

People physical activities may vary depending on goals, lifestyle and work schedule. Knee and back pain limit’s physical activity. We normally will recommend patients to walk up hills if they have hill’s available. This will diminish knee pain depending on the source of the knee pain.

No, push-ups won't help you. Working on your middle back muscles such as: rhomboids, middle and lower traps, posterior deltoids, and your rotator cuff muscles will allow you to get more posterior chain activation.

Unfortunately, scoliosis will increase spinal degeneration.
Aside from muscular pain, poor posture and spinal misalignments. All these factors will put unnecessary and dangerous pressure on the delicate nerves that run from the brain to the rest of the body. Scoliosis creates major nerve interference translates to diminished nerve energy reaching vital organs, creating dysfunction and eventually disease throughout the body.

Simply changing lifestyle and postural habits AFTER the damage has been done isn’t going to bring your spine back into healthy alignment; nor will it reverse the disease process in your body. No matter how many times you remind yourself to sit up straight, get a massage, or visit a chiropractor, the shape of your spine will not correct itself, and therefore risk for disease will not diminish.
To diminish scoliosis braces are normally prescribed.
The most common are the Boston brace, the Milwaukee Brace and the Charleston Bending Brace. These three braces serve as the foundational tools for correcting scoliosis in varying degrees of severity. Other braces do exist – the Chêneau-Gensingen Brace, Silicon Valley Brace, and the SpineCor brace, for example – but they simply haven’t had the same degree of proven success as the three mentioned above.

The technique we mainly use in my practice is Chiropractic Biophysics. This technique recommends thoroughly assessing the severity of a patient’s scoliosis, looking at their age and medical history, and mapping a correctional Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) approach before outfitting a patient with a brace.

Arthritis it's associated with inflammation, physiological and bio mechanical changes in the joint and tissues. Joints that have synovial fluid have cracking noises when they are moved. The movement creates changes in pressure and release of gas/air. Those noises are normal and are not associated with any damage to the joints. However, excessive misalignment can cause wear and tear in the joint and inflammatory process that can lead to arthritis.
