Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center is actively working toward Associate Fellowship with the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS). This is not a marketing decision. It is a clinical one, and it reflects where we believe scoliosis care needs to go.

What the Scoliosis Research Society Is

The Scoliosis Research Society is an international organization of spine care professionals committed to advancing research, education, and clinical outcomes in spinal deformity. Founded in 1966, SRS members represent surgeons, researchers, and allied health professionals across more than 50 countries. The organization sets the standard for how scoliosis is studied, measured, and treated at an international level.

Associate Fellowship within the SRS is designated for allied health professionals who have made a significant and sustained contribution to the field of scoliosis and related spinal deformities. It is not an entry-level recognition. It carries specific prerequisites including documented clinical experience in spinal deformity care, attendance at SRS international meetings, and a formal recommendation from an active SRS Fellow.

Associate Fellowship is granted to distinguished members of the medical profession, including allied health professionals, who have made a significant contribution to scoliosis or related spinal deformities. — Scoliosis Research Society

Where Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center Stands

Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center has built its clinical practice around structural spinal rehabilitation, radiographic assessment, and documented Cobb angle correction in patients with scoliosis. Our approach is grounded in measurable outcomes, not symptom management. We track spinal curve changes on sequential radiographs and hold our results to the same standard of documentation that the research community demands.

That standard is reflected in the work already published. Dr. Justin Dick has authored eight peer-reviewed papers in indexed medical journals, including studies on non-surgical multimodal approaches to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and long-term scoliosis correction outcomes. Pursuing SRS Associate Fellowship is a natural extension of that research orientation.

We meet the clinical experience requirements for Associate Fellowship application. We are currently completing the remaining prerequisites, including attendance at SRS Annual and IMAST meetings, which are mandatory for application submission. We are moving through this process deliberately because the credential only means something if the process is taken seriously.

Why This Matters for Our Patients

Patients with adult scoliosis and adolescent scoliosis deserve care that is held to an internationally recognized standard. The SRS defines that standard across surgery, bracing, rehabilitation, and conservative care. Our pursuit of Associate Fellowship places Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center within that broader clinical and research conversation.

This is consistent with the certifications and training already in place at our clinic, including CLEAR Institute certification, ScoliBrace provider status, and World Master certification through ISICO, the Italian Scientific Spine Institute. SRS Associate Fellowship adds an international peer-reviewed layer of accountability to that clinical foundation.

If you have questions about our approach to non-surgical scoliosis treatment, our radiographic documentation process, or our outcomes, contact our office directly or book a consultation. We will update this page as our application progresses.
