20 Apr 2025
Are your genes playing a role in your scoliosis? On this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Morningstar, an expert in non-surgical scoliosis care and a founding member of Society of Scoliosis Orthopedic Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). In this episode, you’ll learn about the surprising genetic links to scoliosis, including specific genes like COMT and MTHFR, and learn how understanding these factors can unlock new pathways for managing your condition. You’ll also hear Dr. Morningstar shares his personal journey and evidence-based holistic approach, revealing practical strategies – from dietary shifts to targeted supplements – that go beyond traditional methods to address the whole scoliosis picture. If you're living with scoliosis or another spinal condition like kyphosis or Scheuermann's, seeking a deeper understanding and potentially transformative solutions, this episode is a must-listen.Resources mentioned:COMT & MTHFR ArticleHow to find an integrative practitioner near youLearn more about Dr. Mark Mornigstar hereSchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis
