Dr. Wickstrom will monitor and determine results throughout your care plan by taking interval examinations and x-rays. He will also develop maintenance and monitoring plans to reduce the likelihood of any reversal once the correction is achieved.

Dr. Bret Wickstrom utilizes a chiropractic correction protocol for all his patients.

Any shifted spine has tight muscles, ligaments, and tendons that have progressed over time with scoliosis or any spine under stress. At, Corrective Chiropractic, our first step in correction is to “loosen them up”. Spinal flexibility is one of the key factors in scoliosis reduction. These Isometric Stabilization Therapies develop this imperative flexibility in the spine. Corrective Chiropractic clinic has specialized equipment that has been designed solely for this purpose.

This process is generally painless and relaxing for most patients.

Once the supporting spinal structures are loosened and pliable, Dr. Wickstrom will then direct the spine into proper alignment through safe and effective spinal adjustments. Corrective Chiropractic’s method of adjusting is based on years of clinical research by hundreds of doctors. Dr. Wickstrom utilizes a combination of Chiropractic BioPhysics™ and CLEAR Institute™ treatments to treat a scoliotic spine. Adjustments are designed for each patient from hundreds of different measurements and angles from the initial Structural Radiographs and Digital Weight Bearing Analysis.

The last step is to re-educate the body’s supporting muscles to hold and maintain your newly corrected positions. Isometric Stabilization Therapies, Traction, and Spinal Remodeling are our approach to holding the corrected spine. The body’s weaker areas must be rebuilt. Through these precise exercise and remodeling system allows the body’s nerve system to become reprogrammed against gravity making each correction much more stable. These procedures re-educate the brain to hold the new corrected spinal position.

This protocol is relatively painless, but the patient may experience some mild soreness or discomfort during the initial onset of treatment as the body adapts and heals in its newly corrected position. Some patients have reported mild muscle soreness the day after treatment. It is extremely rare that a patient is unable to complete treatment due to physical discomfort. scoliosis treatment greenville nc
