The Filum System® Method Halts the Progression of Idiopathic Scoliosis

Dr Royo-Salvador’s theory involves the important discovery of the cause for Scoliosis, which had been considered as being “idiopathic”, as to say “without known cause”, up to the 1990ies. 

Thanks to his etiological explication we now know that Scoliosis can be a clinical manifestation involving an abnormal traction of the spinal cord caused by an excessively tense filum terminale; it is an expression of a Neuro-Cranio-Vertebral Syndrome and/or Filum Disease.
