CLEAR Certified Doctors of Chiropractic utilize advanced methods of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation that are not found in most general chiropractic practices. In order to ensure universally high standards of care. Before achieving CLEAR certification, each CLEAR chiropractor is required to complete hundreds of hours of advanced training in scoliosis through seminars, internships, and mentoring programs. They must submit case studies for independent evaluation and peer review, as well as continually undergo ongoing education and hands-on training to stay up-to-date with the most recent advances in scoliosis rehabilitation. CLEAR holds very high standards for its doctors to ensure that every patient of a CLEAR Certified Doctor receives the best possible care.

Our doctors are trained to understand every aspect of how scoliosis affects the body. While scoliosis is a disease of the spine, it can also affect the heart, lungs, posture, physical functioning, and balance. CLEAR trains its doctors in therapies that improve not only the appearance of the spine on an x-ray, but also your health-related quality of life. Our doctors strive to be scoliosis specialists in every sense of the word. You can expect to be treated as a whole person - not just a Cobb angle.
Many of our doctors made the decision to become CLEAR certified because of a personal experience with scoliosis; oftentimes a close friend or loved one. They understand what it is like to live with scoliosis, and have a deep passion (and compassion) to serve the scoliosis community. They have dedicated many years towards developing their understanding of scoliosis, and actively participate in research and ongoing efforts that help CLEAR improve the level of service provided by all CLEAR Certified Doctors. This is what being a CLEAR scoliosis chiropractor means; caring about people living with scoliosis, and providing them with true hope and healing.

ScoliBalance is a physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercise (PSSE) program used to treat scoliosis and kyphosis in children, adolescents and adults.

The program combines the most relevant practices and principles in physical therapy, chiropractic and exercise rehabilitation for a 3D approach to managing scoliosis, tailored to each individual patient according to their curve type, symptoms and treatment goals.

The ScoliBalance concept was created by Dr. Jeb McAviney (Chiropractor) drawing on his clinical experience treating scoliosis using a combination of Chiropractic Biophysics, SEAS^ and Schroth* (BSPTS) techniques.

ScoliBalance builds on the foundation of other PSSE programs focusing on aspects that are most effective and achievable for patients to learn and implement. The program is delivered in accordance with the SOSORT** guidelines (1).
