I am 28 years old and have a scoliosis curve for 28 degrees. I am wondering if anyone who has tried Clear Institute treatment has had a success rate. I am reading these forums and they are all about adolescents and children with bad curves in scoliosis. I would like to read about adult experiences.

Hello;


Many adults have undergone CLEAR Treatment, and our protocols have achieved success in patients from ages 8 to 84. Scoliosis correction is not age-dependent, and it is possible to reduce the severity of scoliosis in skeletally-mature spines.

In the most recent research article on the CLEAR methods (submitted but not yet published), out of 140 patients, 66 were between the ages of 18 and 64, with Cobb Angles ranging up to 109 degrees. After an average of 13 visits, the average improvement documented was 38.8%. The full-text of this article will be available on the website shortly!

For more information about adult scoliosis, look under the "Resources" tab at the top of the page, and click on "Articles." Also, feel free to contact me directly at jwoggon@clear-institute.org if there is additional information I may provide!


Warmest Regards,

I'm a 28 year old male. Over the last few years a functional scoliosis of about 12 degrees has developed. I went to see a PT about a year ago. She didn't realize i had a mild scoliosis at the time as well as a "Lumbar Extension Rotation Syndrome". So, anyways she subscribed Mackenzie Method exercises wich only made the condition worse. Then i saw a Chiropractor who did Cervical Extension traction on me to bring my head back. This helped with the neck, but also without addressing the lumabar spine and scoliosis, making those maybe a little worse. During this i noticed that the T-spine area wich already felt stiff and straight became even more so. I've since read a lot about Physical Therapy and where we have went wrong. I'm a huge fan of Shirley Sahrmanns book, "Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes" Are you familiar with this? Since i've read that i have been addressing my inhibited glutes and short hipflexors that were contributing to my lumbar lordosis. But i feel like the scoliosis just needs some intensive work to correct. What is the intensive treatment like? How long is a session, 3hours, more? What do you do? Do you think you can help?

Hello,
It sounds as though you have done a lot of research on scoliosis, may I commend you. I believe you are on the right track.

The Intensive session will last typically from 1.5 to 3.0 hours and performed twice a day. It would begin with a thorough evaluation of the full spine and then a treatment plan would be designed specifically for you. It sounds as though you would be a candidate for a one week initial Intensive treatment. It is certainly worth investigating as it sounds as though you would be a good candidate for treatment.

Check out the list of Intensive Centers on the website and chose a location. They would be happy to give you their available appointment times.

I would love to hear back from you when you complete your treatment.

Yours in health,

Dr. Sue Bosler
