Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis. Classifying a case as idiopathic means the cause is unknown. Throughout episode 3 of Life Beyond the Curve, our co-host Dr. J Hartley discusses:

• Three theories about possible triggers for AIS - hormones, upper cervical instability, and family history.
• The traditional methods for treating AIS.
• The CLEAR approach to treating AIS. 
• Whether or not it is common for people with AIS to have symptoms.
• How to incorporate home care exercises into your daily life. 
• Activities that could accentuate the progression of AIS. 

Our co-host for episode 3 is able to speak from personal experience because he is no stranger to scoliosis. He has scoliosis, his mother has scoliosis, and he has two daughters who have scoliosis. By sharing from experience, it is our hope that Dr. J Hartley will provide you with the motivation to make a positive change in your life. We hope you'll enjoy the show!
