Clear Scoliosis Institute in Eustis FL
Changing lives...one spine at a time.
CLEAR Scoliosis Institute® is a nonprofit organization formed with one purpose: to develop protocols that effectively correct scoliosis without the use of bracing or surgery. At CLEARTM, correction is achieved through a unique chiropractic system designed especially for the scoliotic spine. Our mission is to implement this superior system of scoliosis care worldwide, changing the lives of scoliosis patients through state-of-the-art care, innovative, research, specialized techniques and spinal rehabilitation.
If this pamphlet has found its way into your hands, chances are that you or someone you care about has scoliosis in Eustis FL. Getting such a life-changing diagnosis can feel very isolating, but we want you to know that you are not alone. In fact, scoliosis is estimated to affect at least 4.5% of the population. We have treated thousands of scoliosis cases and know the helplessness and confusion that comes with the diagnosis of scoliosis. We understand, just like you do, that scoliosis can have the power to impact your life, not only with progressively increasing pain and disfigurement, but also affecting your overall health, quality of life, and longevity. If you could reduce or prevent these changes, would you?
With the CLEARTM protocol, abnormal scoliosis is reduced naturally, leaving your entire body to function better. Whether you have been living with scoliosis for years, or your scoliosis has only been detected recently, you are now looking for answers. Why has this happened? What are my treatment options? Unfortunately, mainstream treatment options are either painfully invasive, lacking in results, or both. You are probably wondering if your only choice is to remain a victim of scoliosis and what it will continue to do to your body, day in and day out. You’re wondering if you must continue to live with the pain and disfigurement that advance relentlessly. We want you to know that there is hope. This pamphlet will answer many of your questions. In it, we explain the methods used by CLEARTM during treatment so you can feel confident when choosing to seek a CLEARTM certified doctor. You will understand what to expect during your first visit, what makes CLEARTM unique from any other treatment method, and why our approach will achieve maximum results. We want you to feel comfortable and confident that CLEARTM is the right choice for you or your child’s health.
Step 1 - “The Mix” in Eustis FL
The MIX, FIX, SET TM protocol is relatively painless, but the patient may experience some mild stretching 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.
The scoliotic spine has tight muscles, ligaments and tendons that have evolved over time with the scoliosis. Our first step in correction is to “loosen them up,” also known as the MIX. Spinal flexibility is one of the key factors in scoliosis reduction. The MIX develops this imperative flexibility in the spine. A CLEARTM clinic has specialized equipment that has been designed solely for this purpose. This process is generally painless and relaxing for the patient.

Step 2 - “The Fix”
“The Fix” Procedure. Once the supporting spinal structures are loosened and pliable, the doctor will then direct the spine into proper alignment through safe and effective spinal adjustments, referred to as the FIX.
Our method of adjusting is based off of years of clinical research by hundreds of doctors. CLEAR Scoliosis Institute® has compiled this research and selected the “best of the best” spine. Adjustments are designed for each patient from 41different measurements and 23 different angles the doctor has determined from the initial X-ray exam.
Step 3 - “The Set”
“The Set” Procedure. The last step is to reeducate the body’s supporting muscles to hold and maintain your newly corrected positions. We call this the SET. The body’s weaker areas must be rebuilt. Our approach to this is through a precise spinal weighting and exercise system. This system features specific isometric spinal exercises, head, shoulder and hip weights designed expressly for the patient.
This rebuilding allows the body’s nerve system to become reprogrammed against gravity, making each correction permanent. A larger curvature (generally above 25 degrees) will require use of the Scoliosis Traction Chair (STC). The STC removes the stress of gravity on the spine and allows the patient to effectively “work out” in a scoliosis-free environment.
The STC uses high-level vibration, which causes the muscles of the spine to contract at a higher frequency than normal, accelerating healing. The STC, along with all of the SET procedures, reeducates the brain to hold the new corrected spinal position.
