Many post-polio people function with major postural abnormali-
ties caused by uasing stronger muscles to compensate for the
weaker ones. This not only causes greater stress on the stronger
muscles but puts excessive force on the skeletal structure
resulting in overstretched ligaments and joint changes accom-
panied by fatigue and pain.
Our guest speaker for November will be Dr. Thomas Lyons of
Amherst Chiropractic, who will discuss this aspect of the
late effects of polio and what might be done about it.
