Frequently Asked Questions About Scoliosis Treatment at Elite Chiropractic
What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, typically measuring 10 degrees or more using the Cobb angle. It may occur in children, adolescents, or adults, and can vary in severity. Common signs include uneven shoulders, a visible curve in the spine, or an asymmetrical waist or hips.
What types of scoliosis do you treat?
We treat a wide range of scoliosis cases, including:
* Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
* Juvenile and infantile scoliosis
* Adult scoliosis (including degenerative and idiopathic)
* Post-surgical or postural scoliosis in adults
Each case is evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate care plan.
What makes Elite Chiropractic different from other scoliosis treatment centers?
Elite Chiropractic is a CLEAR™ Scoliosis Treatment Center, offering highly specialized, non-surgical scoliosis care. Dr. Collin Hilliard is the first chiropractor in the region certified by the CLEAR™ Scoliosis Institute—a nationally recognized leader in scoliosis care. We provide customized treatment plans, advanced diagnostic imaging, and a holistic, wellness-based approach designed to address the root cause of scoliosis rather than just manage symptoms.
What is the CLEAR™ Scoliosis Treatment Method?
CLEAR™ is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment system designed specifically for scoliosis. It includes three phases—MIX, FIX, and SET—which focus on unlocking the spine, applying scoliosis-specific adjustments, and stabilizing posture through neuromuscular re-education. The method is designed to reduce spinal curvature, improve function, and help patients avoid surgery or bracing when possible.
Do you offer scoliosis bracing?
Yes. We offer ScoliBrace®, a state-of-the-art 3D custom brace for children, teens, and adults. Unlike traditional braces, ScoliBrace uses advanced scanning and computer-aided design to create a brace that fits the individual precisely and applies corrective forces tailored to their unique curvature. It is designed to improve posture, reduce curve progression, and enhance comfort and compliance.
Is chiropractic care safe for scoliosis patients?
Yes. When delivered by a certified and trained scoliosis chiropractor, chiropractic care is both safe and effective. At Elite Chiropractic, all scoliosis treatments are based on the CLEAR™ Method and are personalized for each patient. We do not use generic adjustments; instead, every treatment is calculated based on your spinal structure and curve pattern.
Can adults with scoliosis benefit from chiropractic care?
Absolutely. While scoliosis is often diagnosed in adolescence, it can persist or develop later in life due to spinal degeneration. Chiropractic care can help adults with scoliosis manage pain, reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and support better postural alignment—often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.
Is a consultation required before starting treatment?
Yes. A comprehensive initial consultation is required to properly assess your spinal health, posture, range of motion, and scoliosis curve. This includes digital imaging and a personalized evaluation by Dr. Hilliard and our clinical team. Consultations are currently offered free of charge.
Where are you located and who do you serve?
We have offices in Austin and Irving, Texas, and proudly serve patients across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, and Missouri. Telehealth and phone consultations are also available for those traveling from out of state.
