These four pairs of photos show the kind of changes NCR can get with scoliosis. None of these patients had more than eight days of treatment (two four-day series of treatment). Do you see how the shoulders and hips tilt and rotate less after NCR treatment? In the after photos their shoulders are directly above the hips, and their heads are more centered above their chests, and there is less tilt to their heads.

These four sets of photos show some of the changes created in the posture. The tendencies toward Kyphosis (hunchback) and excessive lordosis (swayback) are significantly improved. Please note how much easier the people are standing in the after photos.

Swayback and hunchback are conditions that many people blame on their own bad habits. 'My mother always told me to stand up straight, but I just couldn't do it' many people have told me. This is not so!

The reality is that posture is a mechanical situation that is not created through bad habits, but instead through inappropriate skeletal alignment, primarily in the skull. These four pairs of pictures are dramatic proof of this.

Here are a set of photos to show the improvements in spine shape created by NCR. These are displays of scoliosis, a spiral pattern of the spine simplified to an "S"-curve in a two-dimensional X-ray. None of the pictures here span more than twelve treatments (the lady in the upper left corner).

The men on the right side only had four days of treatment! As a person undergoes NeuroCranial Restructuring, the bones of the head return toward their original design. This improvement in symmetry makes it easier for the musculoskeletal system to support the head. Since the skeleton is designed to support the head, the greater simplicity of the head shape leads to a simpler alignment pattern for the spine.

This "simple spine" is the spine featured in anatomy drawings found in textbooks or on doctors' offices' walls. Scoliosis is normally considered impossible to treat without surgery, which is reserved only for the very severe cases. Yet here we see that NCR can get results with these cases rapidly.

The top set of five photos show dramatic changes in the shape of this poor man's head. Notice how much happier he looks after treatment? The lady in the lower left photos was thrilled with her apparent face-lift after eight treatments.

But no surgery was used here! The woman in the lower right photos had chronic severe headaches when she came in for treatment. As her facial symmetry improved with treatment, her headaches went away.

Here are four sets of before-and-after photos. The improvement in facial symmetry is most notable here. Notice the extreme change in facial symmetry in the man in the upper left corner. His eye sockets changed more than ½ inch! Notice the tremendous sense of peace and relaxation in the man in the upper right.

It is probably from the improvement of his brain chemistry via the NCR treatment! Look at the differences in the shape of the two ladies' faces. There faces are less long and more oval in the after pictures. With all eight of the pictures, imagine lines drawn through the corners of the eyes, through the eyebrows, across the bottom of the ears, through the corners of the mouth, and from the middle of the throat upwards through the head.

With the addition of these lines, even the least perceptive observer will note the significant improvement of symmetry here! Their faces become more symmetrical as the treatments progress.

Here are four ladies' before-and-after photos. The improvement in facial symmetry is most notable here. Look at the differences in the shape of the ladies' faces. There faces are less long and more oval in the after pictures.

Imagine lines drawn through the corners of the eyes, through the eyebrows, across the bottom of the ears, through the corners of the mouth, and from the middle of the throat upwards through the head.

With the addition of these lines, even the least perceptive observer will note the significant improvement of symmetry here! Their faces become more symmetrical as the treatments progress.

The dated photographs you see in the eight-photograph sequence are from my office records. There are six pictures taken before the accident, and the last two are seven and nine months after the accident. The difference in the photos from before and after the accident are notable for the change in format, with the earlier pictures taken with a thirty-five millimeter camera and the later pictures taken with a digital camera. Mr. Rogers is freely standing in all of these portrait pictures.

I took the photographs in consistent situations, so that the changes in head tilt and face shape are real. No re-touching of the photographs has occurred. The last two photographs (taken with a 1997 digital camera) show the lighting problems of the room, not a radical change in the coloring of his skin. What you should note, therefore, are the changes in the relative position of his head. These display the changes in his musculoskeletal system! His skull shape has been changed through NCR treatment, so it balances differently on top of his spine!

The photographs help show the changes that NCR treatment have created. The lines have been drawn on the pictures through the same anatomical points. I drew lines across the bottom of the ears, through each corner of the eyes and through the corners of the mouth. The differences in the position of the lines from one picture to the next are created by the changes in the positions of the bones underneath the skin.

Observations
Photo sequence #1: Please note the gradual changes in the photo sequence. These show the effects of the naturopathic manipulations Mr. Rogers received from me. In the first photograph (taken during his incoming examination), Mr. Rogers holds his head stiffly erect, tilted slightly forward, with low cheekbones and a crooked nose.

By the March 7 photograph, Mr. Rogers already displays a straighter nose, higher cheekbones and a more oval face as well as a more comfortable head position. One of his presenting complaints, sleep apnea, was almost corrected. He had improvement in spinal mobility and a decrease in pain. As the sequence progresses, the gradual changes in facial characteristics and improved head postural position is evident. Similarly, he reported continuing improvements in many facets of his physical actions as well.

His chronic neck and back tightness gradually decreased. He was able to stand and extend his arms upward and bend his head backward. He told many people that he had never been able to do this at any time before that. In the final picture taken before the MVA, Mr. Rogers looks calm, peaceful and relaxed with a comfortable head position, high cheekbones, markedly different from his appearance on March 4. Please note the gradual progression of the same photo sequence, this time marked with the yellow lines. The general progression of the photos shows the lines becoming parallel with one another and with the ground as Mr. Rogers’ facial symmetry improves.

Soon after the December 15 photograph, Mr. Rogers was in the motor vehicle accident in question. He did not return for treatment until the July treatment sequence. At that time, he had very little improvement of the symptoms that he reported soon after the accident: dizziness, neck and shoulder pain and numbness in his hands and arms. Even after four treatments (at the time of the photograph), the severe extension of his head is evident, with only some improvement by the September photograph. Note the slight tilt of the line drawn through the bottom of the ears in the July 14, 1997 photograph. When the ears are found at a tilt like this, the patient will often report dizziness, balance problems or clumsiness. In the September 19, 1997 photograph, the line is nearly horizontal, and Mr. Rogers reported that his balance was much improved.
