Key result
Integrating functional medicine with conventional treatments may offer a comprehensive approach to idiopathic scoliosis management.
Why the study?
The precise relationship between hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances and idiopathic scoliosis development is not fully understood, and emerging evidence suggests correcting these imbalances may improve management.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The functional medicine model may offer insights for more robustly managing idiopathic scoliosis by addressing underlying hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances.
Addressing the underlying components of idiopathic scoliosis, including hormone and neurotransmitter imbalances, has the potential to improve scoliosis treatment outcomes. While the precise relationship between these imbalances and scoliosis development is not fully understood, emerging evidence suggests that correcting these imbalances may positively influence the progression and management of idiopathic scoliosis. The functional medicine model of patient evaluation and treatment may offer some insight as to more robustly, and possibly effectively, manage the entire idiopathic scoliosis condition. This review describes many of the known underlying abnormalities associated with idiopathic scoliosis and offers perspective and ideas for future research into comprehensive idiopathic scoliosis management.

Mark W. Morningstar (2023) conducted a review in Idiopathic Scoliosis. Functional Medicine Model was evaluated. Integrating functional medicine interventions that target underlying genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors alongside conventional treatments may offer a more comprehensive approach to idiopathic scoliosis management.
