1. Top Rated Scoliosis Doctors
Having scoliosis can be a difficult and trying time for many. There is so much information on the internet
that often patients and parents of children with scoliosis just want to know who the top rated scoliosis
doctors are and consult directly with them rather than wasting precious time with doctors who are less
experienced and don not have the advanced training or heavy exposure to adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis. The first criteria for understanding who the top rated scoliosis doctors are is to understand
what type of treatment you are considering. The basic breakdown is scoliosis brace treatment versus
non-scoliosis brace treatment, pro-scoliosis surgery vs con-scoliosis surgery debates, or pro-active, early
stage scoliosis intervention treatment versus watching and waiting (observation only).
As far as scoliosis brace treatment and scoliosis surgery goes I think my recommendation would be to
consult with your local medical doctor or pediatrician and flat out ask them who the best scoliosis
surgeon is in your area. Often these doctors will know based on reputation and length of time they have
been in your area. Doctors don’t usually personally make scoliosis braces so this is a little trickier based
on the fact that scoliosis brace makers termed orthotists are bit more hidden from the limelight of
media and public. For this category it may be best to consult the local orthopedic community to see who
they have gotten the best results with as far as rigid scoliosis brace for scoliosis.
The non-scoliosis brace, non-scoliosis surgery doctors are limited and hard to decipher through all the
internet nonsense and marketing to this category. As far as chiropractors are concerned really the only
legitimate group of doctors performing direct treatment for scoliosis, C.L.E.A.R. Institute chiropractic
leadership education and research are the top rated doctors in this category. These doctors have much
more training in scoliosis biomechanics and rehabilitation and have to pass very intense testing to
become certified in this type of non surgical non bracing treatment for idiopathic scoliosis. Within the
CLEAR Institute group there is a subgroup of elite doctors who are called Intensive Care Certified which
is essentially the highest level of training achievable within CLEAR Institute and the chiropractic
profession. Often general chiropractors and even standard certified CLEAR Institute doctors will refer
patients to this specially trained group.
In addition you may want to find out who the instructors are for the organization as well. These doctors
tend to be the innovators and have the most experience and a more advanced skill set where results
may be increased with this small group. Obviously harder to get to them and you may have to travel but
it may be worth it to have a non-scoliosis surgery, non- scoliosis brace approach stabilize the scoliosis to
halt progression and achieve a sustainable correction.
I would stay away from the doctors whom “mix” different treatment philosophies. Many attempt to
offer everything from a dynamic brace (Spine Cor), to Scroth exercises, in addition to CLEAR Institute
scoliosis treatment. These doctors often are not committed or not getting good results with a particular
program so they dabble in everything in hopes of achieving some type of result. Throwing the kitchen
sink at a problem rarely is effective or providing a one stop shopping experience for the scoliosis patient
is probably the wrong approach. You don’t go to your general dentist for a filling, braces, and gum

2. surgery or your family practitioner for antibiotics, a colonoscopy, and knee surgery. Also stay away from
doctors that are pushy or try to convince you that their clinic is the only place to get good results.
As far as proactive treatment for scoliosis the chiropractic group at treatingscoliosis.com is very
impressive. Dr Clayton Stitzel and Dr Brian Dovorany both CLEAR trained Intensive doctors and
instructors are very knowledgeable with beating the odds as far as early stage scoliosis intervention.
They have developed a very complete treatment model for early stage mild curvature which includes
Scoliscore genetic testing and neuromuscular based rehabilitation that trains the brain to “learn” how to
hold the scoliosis spine in a straighter position. Most scoliosis experts and researchers agree that early
stage scoliosis intervention is ideal and can even halt progression and stabilize the scoliosis preventing
the need for more invasive treatments (scoliosis brace/scoliosis surgery) later on.
The top rated scoliosis doctors are going to always be the leaders, the innovators, the doctors that are
pioneering advancement for scoliosis treatment. Whether it is for a new scoliosis surgery procedure like
vertebral body stapling (VBS), an advanced classification system for scoliosis, a new less invasive, more
effective scoliosis brace, or a new non-scoliosis brace/ non-scoliosis surgery treatment strategy using
sound scientific principles, these are the top rated scoliosis doctors. These are the doctors that you
should chose to get the desired result because when it comes to scoliosis treatment and especially when
it comes to your child, who deserve the best chance at success.
