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.
