Scoliosis Consulting
Your questions answered.
Your concerns understood.
Your solutions streamlined.
I am a husband, a father, and a guy who hates seeing scoliosis care being grossly mismanaged.
Through years of practicing Schroth therapy, partnering with surgeons at Mayo Clinic & Phoenix Children’s Hospital, collaborating with orthotists at Align Clinic, Hangar Clinic, & Carrie Tingley Children’s Hospital, and a millenial’s aptitude for navigating social media and connecting with a broader scoliosis community, I have gained a valuable insider’s perspective on the entire spectrum of scoliosis care strategies.
I want to help people connect with the appropriate services and get accurate, realistic, evidence-based information regarding the best ways to manage scoliosis.
I’m not selling miracles, just the knowledge you need to have a shot at creating one.

How To Avoid Getting Scammed
Scoliosis can be scary- I want to provide you understanding and peace of mind. A brief consult could save you from years of wasted time, heart break from ineffective treatments, unnecessary pain and anxiety, and most importantly, save you from invasive surgery that could have been avoided.

This is why research exists- to test whether or not the snake oil salesman is indeed selling you snake oil (spoiler alert: it's usually snake oil).
Below are a few studies published recently (last 10 years or so) that I use to help guide my practice and my recommendations. It is by no means an all-inclusive list, but it’s a good place to start if you have not previously researched this field before.
Has someone promised to correct your Cobb angle by 50% with 1 hour of exercise per year? (I promise that is a real sales pitch)
Were you told that 2 hours in a soft brace is as effective as 20 hours of a rigid brace? (Also a real claim).
Has a chiropractor offered to click a pen on your back to move actual bones in your body?
