What Doctor do I take my son to for syringomyelia?


Would it scoliosis doctor or the neuorlogist

The best doctor for this condition is a neurologist. I've enclosed a web site was some information for you on this condition. Take your son to the doctor as soon as possible.

I know my chripractor is exceptional with the reasearch he does but that is another option with a massage therapist and the information in the book below

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

no..not neurologist...
neuro surgeon....

The neurologist first. If there is a problem with the locomotor system like scoliosis,he will refer the patient to an orthopedic surgeon.
