Posture Correction

Posture correction is achieved by the state-of-the-art biophysics technique: Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) technique. (www.idealspine.com). This entails using exercise, adjusting and postural traction to correct spine and posture deviations back towards normal alignment. By correcting whole spine misalignments, more permanent corrections of your ailments can be achieved. In fact, there have been several clinical trials as well as case reports recently published documenting dramatic improvements in a variety of diseases and conditions by remolding the spine/posture back towards the normal.

Of all techniques, CBP technique is the most researched technique for the correction of posture! Because of this CBP technique is becoming well recognized worldwide by certified chiropractirs, physiotherapists and orthopedists. Currently there are very few certified CBP facilities in Canada; Innovative Spine & Wellness is a CBP certified clinic.

Scoliosis Correction / Stabilization

ISW has three innovative approaches to the treatment of scoliosis:

1. SpineCor Brace - This is the first and only dynamic corrective brace for idiopathic scoliosis. Developed by two orthopedic surgeons from Montreal, this brace is used around the world to correct scoliosis deformities and postural deformations. Dr. Oakley is among the first Doctors in Ontario to be certified by SpineCor. For more information on the SpineCor brace, go to our 'scoliosis' page or go to site: www.scoliosisgta.com.

2. CBP Mirror Image Traction - Using a little known engineering concept, the non-cumunitive properties of finite rotation angles, this traction techique was invented by the late Donald Harrison, PhD, DC,originator of CBP technique. Simply explained the spine is stretched in its opposite scoliotic alignmentin a pre-determined sequential order of combined postural movementsin a multiplanar fashion. This approach has been published by Drs. Harrisons and ISWs own Dr. Oakley (Harrison DD, Harrison DE, Oakley PA. Reduction of deformity after chiropractic biophysics mirror image care incorporating the non-commutative properties of finite rotation angles in five patients with thoraco-lumbar scoliosis [platform presentation the Association of Chiropractic Colleges' Thirteenth Annual Conference, 2006] Journal of Chiropractic Education Spring 2006 (20:1):19-20.)

3. Power Plate Corrective Exercises -CBP mirror-image exercises are conductedon Power Plates utilizing 'vibration technology' intensifying the muscular effects and increasing their intensity many fold!
