In May 2026, Dr. Justin Dick was recognized at the 21st International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS) at Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, South Carolina, for his paper examining abnormal cervical mechanics in patients with scoliosis.
The research looked at cervical instability and sagittal mechanics in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients, and the possible relationship between cervical dysfunction and global spinal biomechanics. It was published in the symposium proceedings through the Journal of Philosophy, Principles & Practice of Chiropractic.
IRAPS draws clinicians and researchers from across the chiropractic profession. This year's proceedings covered scoliosis, upper cervical care, sensorimotor function, pediatric neurodevelopment, and women's health, among other areas.
Dr. Dick is the founder and treating clinician at Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center in Charlotte, NC, and holds a Fellowship with the CLEAR Scoliosis Institute. His research has been indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE through Cureus.
