How A Chiropractor Changed This Teen's Life

Muntathar Altaii, a 17-year-old,was left with a bent spine after pulling a tree root outside their home in California. For three months, he suffered from excruciating pain on his back and numbness on his right leg. He lost a remarkable amount of weight, and developed a skin condition because of the accident. He was diagnosed with kyphosis, a condition where you become hunched because your spine becomes so excessively curved outward. Kyphosis is generally more common in women as they age, but they can also be due to freak accidents like Altaii’s case. Treatment may depend on the condition and of course, age.
