I have scoliosis, unfortunately, and I couldn't find any CLEAR locations in Utah. I'm supposed to come back in two years and see if it has worsened. If it has, then they'll have to 'fix it'. Any advice?

I saw your post on Mercola.com and I thought I would suggest a place you may be able to get some more information from other CLEAR patients. I believe CLEAR has a Facebook page that has many different doctors and patients that are all connected through that network. Get on facebook and search for CLEAR and you may be able to find others who have been in your situation. You can find it by searching for "CLEAR Institute". It is a facebook page. If I can help in any way let me know. I will be graduating as a chiropractor next week and am in the process of being CLEAR certified.

I am currently undergoing treatment with CLEAR. It is gentler than surgery, but I would not call it a gentle treatment. Having been braced as a child, that treatment is the gentlest I have had, but it only kept the curves in check until I finished growing. And, I believe it had it's own set of problems (weak muscles, etc.). I am getting results from the CLEAR program, and it is a long, slow, painful (for me) process. It requires a comittment of much time, money & dedication. But, it is working so far (I've been at it about 6 months now). I found out about them online. When I read their theory & treatment protocol, I said to myself "ah-ha, this is just what I've been seeking". I am blessed to live close enough to one of their 3 centers that I can manage to make it work. It would be nice if I lived even closer, but they do have treatment plans for those who live far away (& even overseas!). I hope this information helps someone else with scoliosis. I highly recommend you look into the CLEAR program, and others - do your research! It's the best program, I believe, out there. I have tried conventional chiropractic care, & never once had an x-ray (other than the orthopedic surgeon, who told me I needed the surgery within a year as an adult) from a chiropractor, & always thought that was good, but have learned that there is valuable info. to be had from them.
