Comprehensive Scoliosis Treatment: Beyond Braces and Surgery

Scoliosis is more than just an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine; it often includes a rotational component that traditional braces or surgical solutions, like harrington rods, fail to address holistically.  To truly treat scoliosis, we must consider the entire neuro-musculoskeletal system, including the spinal cord, nerves, discs, ligaments, and muscles.

When the spine bends and rotates, it lead to a cascade of issues:

  • Spinal Cord Shortening: Affects nerve function and overall spinal health.
  • Disc Compression: Leads to nerve irritation and discomfort.
  • Ligament Imbalance: Ligaments become loose on the convex side on the curve and tight on the concave side.
  • Muscle Imbalance: The Multifidus muscles are tighter on the convex side and weaker on the concave side.

These imbalances impact posture, mobility, and quality of life.  That's why a comprehensive approach is necessary, one that increases flexilibility, strenghthens weak muscles, and retrains the brain to build new muscle memory for a balanced posture.

Our Unique Treatment Approach:  CLEAR Institute Protocol

At All Well Scoliosis Centre, we follow a specialized, non-invasive protocol developed by the CLEAR Institute, focusing on three key phases: MIX, FIX, and SET.

1. MIX: Preparing the Body

The MIX phase is designed to warm up the body, reduce muscle tightness, increase spinal flexilibility, and hydrate the discs between the vertebrae.  This phase includes both active and passive movements, setting the stage for effective treatment.

2. FIX: Precise Chiropractic Adjustments

During the FIX phase, we use specialized chiropractic techniques with advanced tools and instruments to align the spine and extremities.  These adjustments are tailored to each patient's unique spinal structure, as seen on their X-rays.  Our goal is to correct misalignments and restore proper function to the spine.

3. SET: Specialized Exercises for Lasting Results

The SET phase focuses on targeted exercises that activate specific involuntary muscles around the spine.  These exercises help retrain the neuromuscular system to achieve a more balance posture.  By strengthening weak muscles and increasing flexilibiliy, we support long-term improvements in spinal health.
