Scoliosis Treatment Alternative to Scoliosis Surgery

A new scoliosis treatment, available at Victor Advanced Chiropractic, is changing the future of scoliosis. Studies prove that this new scoliosis treatment shows dramatic results comparatively to the "barbaric" method of surgery. Research includes very specific x-rays to determine if the scoliosis is correctible. Amazingly, 75% are correctible.

Until now patients have only had three options for the reduction and correction of scoliosis: to do nothing, bracing, and surgery. Doing nothing only makes matters worse, but bracing and scoliosis surgery are no better. Bracing outcomes are very poor and expensive, stabilizing the scoliosis at its current position, not correcting it. Studies have shown that patients felt that bracing handicapped their life and left a psychological scar.

Surgery includes implanting a Harrington rod for the correction of the disease. However, after many complications, including rusting and corrosion, bending, or breaking completely, proved that this method is ineffective. Some sufferers undergo surgery again to remove the rod. Every year thousands of post-surgery patients are legally defined as permanently disabled for the rest of their lives, and follow up x-rays in some cases reveal that their scoliosis returned to pre-operative levels.

"The new Mix, Fix, and Set routine is cutting edge", Dr. Robert Luckey said. He and Dr. Bill Ferris run Victor Advanced Chiropractic (www.victorac.com). The mix uses specific rehab for the soft tissues, the fix includes the spine adjusting and the set is to hold the position with further rehab. Exercise rehabilitation therapy is mandatory to reverse scoliosis, including vibratory stimulation. Envision a life free from the pain of scoliosis. A life free from physically and emotionally scarring treatments. Scoliosis affects 4.5% of the general population; almost 500 cases diagnosed each day, taking an average of 15 years reduction from each patient's life span.

Case studies show results seemed to reduce scoliosis curvatures in 19 subjects by an average of 17 degrees. This reduction took place within a 4 to 6-week period. The technique does not require any bracing or surgery. Furthermore, the new treatment costs less than bracing or surgery. The average corrective surgery costs $60-$120,000,00 while this new treatment averages $4-$6,000.00. Dr. Luckey and Dr. Ferris took intensive training at the CLEAR Institute to become certified and now practice the treatments at Victor Advanced Chiropractic in upstate New York. Chiropractors trained by CLEAR Institute are committed to achieving structural changes to the spine that will allow the body to de-rotate and correct itself. Victor Advanced Chiropractic (www.victorac.com) is the only certified place to find this new treatment in New York State, and in a two hundred and fifty mile radius.

The CLEAR Institute was founded in 2000, its intent is to providing advanced professional training to chiropractors and chiropractic students on all aspects of practice; diagnostic, treatment protocols, and management.
