Our Treatment Process
Scoliosis Treatment Process
At Clear Life Scoliosis and Chiropractic Center, every patient moves through a structured, measurement-driven process. Nothing is templated. What follows is how care actually works here.
Step 1 — Consultation
- History
- Prior imaging
- Symptoms
- Goals
Ready to start? Book your evaluation.
Step 2 — Examination
Includes:
- Posture and asymmetry
- Range of motion
- Balance and coordination
- Neurological screening
- Scoliosis-specific findings
We offer in-house radiographs. These are functional radiographs — just as important, if not more important, than a standard radiograph. They measure how the body and spine move, not just how they look in a single static position.
Step 3 — Imaging Review
When appropriate:
- Cobb angle
- Curve pattern
- Sagittal alignment
- Structural relationships
Step 4 — Individualized Plan
May include:
- In-office corrective care
- Exercise protocols
- Traction-based rehabilitation
- Home care systems
- Re-evaluation schedule
- Bracing
If bracing is indicated based on your exam findings and imaging, every step of that process happens here. We perform the brace evaluation, complete the fitting, and conduct all follow-up assessments in house. You are not being referred out to a separate orthotist who has never reviewed your X-rays or watched you move. The clinician assessing for the bracing recommendation is the same one managing your care from start to finish.
Step 5 — Objective Reassessment
We track:
- Symptom changes
- Posture
- Function
- Measurable findings
- Imaging when appropriate
Clinical Measurement Philosophy
Care is based on:
- Objective data
- Repeatable measures
- Structured reassessment
This approach aligns with published research methodology and supports better clinical decisions. View Dr. Dick's peer-reviewed publications.
