What Serotonin and Melatonin Reveal About Scoliosis

A report highlights claims that scoliosis management may involve more than correcting spinal curvature, pointing to serotonin and melatonin as potential links. It describes a 76-year-old woman who, after about eight months of personalized nutritional and movement therapies, returned to riding her horse regularly. Her spinal curve decreased, daily pain was gone, and discomfort when moving was brief. The article explains that serotonin supports nerve signaling to trunk muscles and may influence bone rebuilding, while melatonin regulates cells involved in forming and breaking down bone. It also notes foundational research has relied largely on animal models and that translating results to human treatment remains under study.
