5 out of 5 stars

My brother cured himself of scoliosis by putting lifts in his right shoe. His right leg was shorter than his left--you could see in the mirror that his right shoulder was lower than his left--It makes total sense.... His spine was being pulled to the right because of the pressure. Also, He had TRIPLE "E" wide feet.... They shrunk back to "E" width. Makes total sense... The pressure was relieved. He said he could feel the strain in his right ham string (he says this is necessary--Also, look in the mirror to make sure your shoulders are even--I'm using 3 lifts now)--He believes that the leg grew muscle hence lengthening his right leg to be even with his left leg. It took 2 years, but now he doesn't wear lifts anymore. He mentioned to me that I should try it, as my right shoulder is lower than my left... Well, Praise God, I Grew 1".... Actually, my spine just straightened out... Lol... Since I've been using the lifts for a few (maybe 2) months... I'm literally 1" taller! I made the nurse measure me twice at a recent doctor's appointment cuz she said I was 1" taller than I've been since high school... I'm in my mid-40s now. I have a way to go to get my leg lengthened... But I'm so Happy! Woo Hoo! We're supossed to shrink as we get older.... If that ain't "God using the foolish to confound the wise" then I don't know what is.

Hi Connie, I'm so sorry.... I've been busy w/ life... What other info do you want. I use 1 S**** Feet, & 2 that I just bought at the store... So 3 on the right side & 2 one on the left side. I'm so pleased... It's only been about 3 months or so & my right shoulder is the same level as my left. 1 thing also that I find useful is sleeping w/ a pillow between my knees.. It seems to take pressure off my spine... Since its in a pliable state right now... I think that's important... Please list whatever ?s U have... I'll be happy 2 help :oD Glad You like the quote... Praise Be To God... 2nite, I was just thinking about how I had been praying for a creative miracle for God to just make my back & leg whole... But how he chose to use my brother as the miracle instead... Many Blessings 2 U! :oD

Sorry I took so long to respond... Maybe we can talk via email? my daughter has scoliosis (in the natural, not in God! ) what kind of lifts did you use and how did you buy them, , , ? we have poor health ins, and limited funds right now but I will do what I need to help her. She has a hump in on the right side of her back and her shoulderblades stick out. I am reaching out in God's Name for your assistance in how and what you used to change you situation, , , thank you so so much! Connie

Hi Connie,
Well I don't have a hump & my shoulders don't stick out... So maybe its a mild scoliosis. As far as the lifts... The brand S**** F**t U can get at a sports store like T** S***** A********. The other ones (like the gel ones) I just got at T***** or W**-M***--They don't cost too much. I'm not sure how much it will help the hump, but its definately a start. 1st step, stand behind your daughter looking into a mirror & see which shoulder is lower... If its the right-side... Then put the lifts in that shoe... However many you need to get the shoulders even.... Hopefully you won't need to buy a larger shoe size for that size... I took the insoles that came w/my sneakers out & the used the other 3 lifts... U only need 1 lift to be the full size... The other 2 can just cover the heel area or 2/3rds of the foot. You can even use paper... If buying lifts is out of your budget... I don't cuz it rains a lot here & that would just be plain messy... God Bless You & Your family... I will pray that God gives You divine wisdom...

Hi Connie.
If you do not have insurance, I suggest this:
Have your daughter stand on a flat surface in her stocking feet in fromt of you - Look at her shoulders. Is one higher than the other? Is it OBVIOUS? If so - you can make a lift for the shorter leg out of some substance like cardboard.... Put it in the shoe on the shorter leg. (The lower shoulder).

Start off with LESS tha you think you need. I started mine at 1/4". Go for a day or two to see if this helps. If it does not help, and does not bother her... Add another layer of cardboard. Keep doing this until her shoulders look level, and until it looks like her stance is correct.

Once you figure out the the thickness she needs, you can buy shoe inserts at the drugstore and either super glue them together, or duct tape them to the right thickness.

I have some $500.00 heel orthodics (from back when I had GOOD insurance)... And I STILL have cardboard built up under one of them! IT IS HELPING! I was diagnosed with scoliosis a couple of years ago - at the age of 48. My upper back has ALWAYS been an issue for me.

Also - You might want to look into buying an inversion table. Google "Inversion table and scoliosis" - they are not horribly expensive for the amount of good they do. One would make a wonderful Christmas present. Best of health to you and yours!

Thank you lisa!! I will do as you say but everything was xed out as far as the name brands so I don't know which ones you used can I send you my email and you can email me privately? I would so much appreciate it as I believe you have wisdom in this area... And the prayers are greatly appreciated! Connie

Replied By Connie (Franklin, Ma) on 12/04/2010

Carly... Thank you so much for your info! Earth clinic friends are the BEST! I am going to do as you and lisa have suggested and pray this is our answer, she clearly droops one shoulder and has a curvature that is visable to the eye.. Also a protrusion of shoulder blades and a slight hump. I have heard mixed things about inversion tables but I will look into it, , , thank you for your help! God Bless! Connie

You are very welcome Connie! I hope it is just the ticket for making your daughter better. Being as old as I am (almost 50) I am sure that my bones and cartiledge is much more "set in its ways" than a young person like your daughters are. Getting to the issue while she is young is going to really be a great thing for her I think. :-) Please let us know how it is going when you have the time to update? I love hearing success stories.

RE the inversion table.... I have read a ton on it, and then I didn't even use mine for a year after getting it because of some of the negative things I read (I am a bit of a chicken, and am OLD mind you. Lol). Anyway.... Now that I have been using it for the past year I truly believe it is an amazing devise. I am a firm believer in it. I wish I had started using it a decade (or two) ago! Best to you and your daughter,
Carly :)

Hi Connie & Carly,
Happy New Year! Connie I would love to email U, but don't know what Ur email is. I will still b praying 4 Ur daughter. Hey Carly, great idea on the inversion table... I got a outdoor camping chair (not sure exact name) it has a metal frame w/ mesh & I made a cushion for it--bought 1 1/2" thick foam at the fabric store & covered it in fabric... Much more comfortable that way. My dog lays underneath... Has a bed down there & uses it as her den. It does take a lot of pressure off the spine & helps relax the back. The outdoor recliner chairs are sold at sports stores for about $40... U usually see them in ads around summer time. Look at this link... Its the 2nd picture with the pillow at the top/grey mesh with wooden arms.. , mine has plastic arms:

As for the brand of the lifts... The FIRM expensive ones I got from the sporting goods store are Super Feet ($30-40) & the PLIABLE ones from a regular store are Dr. S.... Or whatever they have.... Doesn't really matter. Definitely let us know how its going... My shoulders r almost even... Started in Sept 2010... But need to add one more lift... My calves started hurting bad last week... Had to stretch them a lot... My brother said that was good, cuz it means I'm growing muscle. May God Richly Bless U All! :oD

I have S curve scolosis and was told by a chiropractor about 10 years back that my left leg was short (you could visibly see it when I put my legs out straight). I wore a heal lift for 10 years. Suddenly developed sciatica and am again treating at (a different) chriopractor. He said my leg "shortness" was a "functional shortness" and with his adjustments my legs are now even.

Just be careful diagnosing yourself. My chiro said that it is unusual for someone to really have a short leg-- yours might be caused by misalignment like mine was. I thought my heal lift was a God-send too but really my new chiropractor is a God-send since he has my legs even now by correcting my back.

Hi Connie and Carly; re lifts.

I used them for about four years aged about 26-30yrs. (I'm 38 now.)

They worked for a short while in alleviating pain, but the root cause was still very much there, and active. Please don't rest on lifts being a solution to back pain. I'm speaking from years of pain and experience (and experimentation too most importantly). Granted everyone is different, but it sounds like my story you're discussing. (In fact everyone's does on this subject.)

My hips were out of alignment, one leg was shorter than the other and the scoliosis kept worsening. It has been two months since the atlas installation treatment now and my ribcage has started to smoothen out/come straight after at least tens years of getting about with (lots of pain and) visible warping.

Please, for the health of your young women, look into permanent atlas alignment.

As far as scoliosis is concerned, this is most likely the permanent cure. At any rate it is a one-off, cost-effective and most importantly, SAFE system. One has nothing to lose but the cost of three or four dodgy chiro appointment's!

Best for the future, : )
