March 27, St. Cloud, MN – The CLEAR
Scoliosis Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with
scoliosis through advanced chiropractic care, will be presenting its latest
research article in a poster format at the 7th Annual Meeting of the
International Society of Scoliosis Orthopedic Rehabilitation Techniques
(SOSORT) in Milan, Italy, on May 10-12.
SOSORT is
a Non-Profit Organization founded to foster the best conservative management
strategies for scoliosis, and to promote multidisciplinary teamwork within the
field. It is the sponsoring organization of the scientific journal Scoliosis, which is an open-access,
peer-reviewed publication.
The
research article reports the outcomes experienced by seven adolescent patients
with idiopathic scoliosis who were treated with a comprehensive two-week
intensive treatment protocol involving chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue
therapy, and neuromuscular rehabilitation, and their long-term results.
“Obviously we are very excited to participate in the
SOSORT conference,” states Dr. Josh Woggon, Director of Research for the CLEAR
Non-Profit Institute and the primary author of the article. “This is a
gathering of all of the scoliosis experts from around the world, combining
their talents and advancing research into non-surgical treatment options. The
multidisciplinary approach that SOSORT takes is in line with CLEAR’s goal of
promoting cooperation amongst chiropractors and orthopedists for the benefit of
the scoliosis patient. I believe chiropractic has a great deal to offer both
people living with scoliosis and the researchers in the field. This article is
only the first step in establishing this value in the peer-reviewed literature
and to our colleagues involved in the management of scoliosis.”
