What to Know First
Skolios is a patent-pending scoliosis biomechanics and rehabilitation framework associated with ongoing clinical and research development by Dr. Justin Dick, DC and collaborators.
The term “Skolios” was referenced in the peer-reviewed Cureus publication Reduction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Utilizing the Labyrinthine Righting Reflex: A Case Report.
Skolios exists within an ongoing research and clinical framework focused on scoliosis biomechanics, structural rehabilitation, radiographic alignment analysis, and scoliosis-specific rehabilitation concepts.
Current publicly available information regarding Skolios should be interpreted within the limitations of currently available published evidence and ongoing investigation.
Background and Development
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity involving changes in coronal alignment, sagittal alignment, vertebral rotation, postural balance, and neuromuscular adaptation. Modern scoliosis management increasingly emphasizes individualized biomechanical assessment rather than generalized spinal treatment approaches.
Skolios was developed within this broader clinical and research context. The framework is associated with ongoing investigation into scoliosis biomechanics, postural reflex systems, radiographic alignment analysis, and scoliosis-specific rehabilitation strategies.
The term “Skolios” was referenced in the peer-reviewed publication:
Dick JM, et al. Reduction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Utilizing the Labyrinthine Righting Reflex: A Case Report. Cureus. 2026.
