Which therapy?

[Lottrontarl]

I wonder if someone can give me some advice please. Since the begining of the year I have noticed that my right shoulder is lower than my left shoulder. I am starting to feeling a little lopsided and today when walking with a friend she ask whether I have hurt my foot as I seemed to be limping a little.This must be a result of my shoulders not being level and its affecting how I walk. I want to go for some treatment to try and sort the problem out. I am not sure which type of therapyI should choose to help correct this ie chiropractor, osteopathy, shiatsu.....

I would be grateful for some advice please.

Kind Regards

Hi Midas,

Sounds like you could have possible scoliosis, which is and s-shape of the spine, which can make you lop-sided. My father suffered with this condition when he had bad to severe back pain and to avoid the pain, he would twist out of it. But scoliosis can be caused other ways.

I also have a friend who has one leg longer than the other which effects his posture (his shoulders are uneven heights) and has also caused a mild scoliosis - he now has to put special insoles in his shoe to correct the imbalance. He's currently receiving treatment from an Oestopath. He's only been going for 2 weeks, so we're yet to find out how the treatment will benefit him in the long term. But speaking to other therapists, they generally recommend Oestopathy too.

Hope that's useful

hi midas,
it is more likely that the problem lies with the high shoulder, do you have neck tension, also previous post mentions leg length discrepency, unless measured for actual leg length discrepency, can be caused by multitude of hip problems, and is called apparent leg length discrepency,

Thanks you for your comments. Its not my spine out of alignment, just unlevel shoulders. I need something that will help me correct my posture. Maybe I will try an osteopathy session and see what happens. Going to a therapist is quite expensive so I wanted to go to one that offered a therapy which wouldbe the best choice for thisparticular problem.
