A Brief History of Scoliosis Treatment Dr. Clayton J. Stitzel, 1-866-627-3009, drstitzel@clear-institute.org, http://www.treatingscoliosis.com/
SCOLIOSIS: National Scoliosis Foundation “ The effects:  Reduced life expectancy.  It can stunt height growth and decrease pulmonary function.  It’s associated with headaches, shortness of breath, digestive problems, chronic disease, and hip, knee and leg pain.” Dr. Clayton J. Stitzel, 1-866-627-3009, drstitzel@clear-institute.org, http://www.treatingscoliosis.com/
History: Hippocrates described Scoliosis around 400 BC. Galen coined the term Scoliosis in 131 – 201 A.D. The 1 st  metal brace was developed under Ambroise Pare in 1575. In 1876, it became possible to quantify the angle of deformation. The etiology of scoliosis remains unknown in 80% of cases. Dr. Clayton J. Stitzel, 1-866-627-3009, drstitzel@clear-institute.org, http://www.treatingscoliosis.com/
