Scoliosis affects up to 5% of young people and up to 68% of
those over 60 and its prevalence is growing in the USA due to the
aging population. The condition is characterized by an abnormal
curvature of the spine.
ScoliCare clinics provide in-depth assessments and treatment
plans for infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Treatment
options include the world-leading ScoliBrace® bracing system and
ScoliBalance®, a physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise
program.
"Traditionally surgery was thought to be the only option for
people with scoliosis however now, if we catch the curve early
enough, we can prevent surgery," explained Dr. Chris Gubbels D.C.,
Head Clinician at ScoliCare Denver Colorado. "We recognize the
difficulties scoliosis can present, and our dedicated team is
devoted to supporting patients throughout their treatment journey
to achieve the best possible outcomes and enhance quality of
life."
Patient Success Story: Eric's Journey
Dr. Gubbels has many years of experience treating scoliosis in
collaboration with ScoliCare. One of his patients, Eric was first
diagnosed at 11 years old and his curve continued to progress.
While in college Eric injured his spine in a rock climbing accident
which impacted his scoliosis and he was faced with physical
discomfort and emotional distress. He began looking for treatment
options as he was worried he would end up needing surgery. That’s
when he found Dr. Gubbels who diagnosed Eric with severe scoliosis.
With a customized ScoliBrace® and a tailored ScoliBalance® exercise
program provided by ScoliCare, Eric’s curve significantly improved.
Eric’s experience with Dr. Gubbels and his treatments have since
inspired him to pursue a healthcare career.
