I've been doing some searching on treatment centers who offer non surgical and non-bracing treatment for scoliosis patients using a variety of machines, chairs and adjustments on the patient to re-educate the muscles and ligaments to support the spine..
I made an appointment for an introductory session with the CLEAR institute. More information can be found at the link below:

A month before I fould the Clear Institute I wished I could find a place that specialised in Scoliosis where the doctors could look at my body and customize treatment, exercises and a nutrition program just for me. No one else I had met seemed to be an expert in Scoliosis and it was frustrating to not be able to get answers that seemed to make sense to me.
So I found a Clear certified Chiropractor in Los Angeles and I learnt more about Scoliosis in one session that I had my entire life. For instance:
- Scoliosis is usually caused from a trauma at birth or an accident at a very early age.
- Scoliosis occurs when the patient loses the natural curves in the spine and the body has to compensate by creative a sideways curve
- restoring the curve in the neck is the first step in decreasing the scoliosis curve (and that it can actually be decreased)
- the nerves in the vertibrae are all connected to different organs in the body and where my curves are correlate to my symptoms of respritory and digestion problems and a weak immune system.
The treatments are 3 hours long and consist of a number of different machines. I am going to spend two weeks for intensive treatment (6 hours a day) at the Clear Institutes center in St Cloud Minnesota in the next couple of months.
