About CLEAR Institute and Scoliosis Treatment
About CLEAR Institute
(Chiropractic Leadership, Educational Advancement, & Research)
CLEAR Institute was an idea conceived in 1998 by Dr. Dennis Woggon, who has run a successful chiropractic practice since 1974. Founded in 2000, the original intent of CLEAR was to provide advanced professional training to chiropractors and chiropractic students on all aspects of practice; diagnostics, treatment protocols, and management. As the organization evolved to meet the needs of its clients, our focus began to narrow as our vision expanded. Today, we address the most challenging aspects of treatment that chiropractors are likely to encounter in their day-to-day practice; cases such as whiplash associated injuries and soft tissue injuries, as well as the most challenging spinal condition of all: scoliosis.
Our specialty, however, is not limited merely to the treatment of scoliosis. CLEAR Institute works closely with a variety of other companies [1] to provide chiropractors with assistance in patient education, case management, insurance billing & coding, x-ray analysis, spinal rehabilitation exercises, and functional testing. Our goal is to guide chiropractors every step of the journey as they become true “spinal experts,” able to quickly and accurately diagnosis, treat, and understand the intricacies of the spinal engine.
Through seminars and lectures presented at chiropractic colleges, conferences, and symposiums, our first mission is to spread the chiropractic message; drugs & surgery will only address the symptoms of disease, never the cause. From there, we present alternatives to the medically-recommended treatments that are safe, effective, and clinically proven. Research is an integral part of CLEAR Institute; if we cannot objectively prove that a particular method of treatment is effective, we do not advocate it. Once the information has been presented, we then look for chiropractors who have the dedication and commitment to become spinal experts, and work with them to provide them with the tools and knowledge they will need to make permanent structural and functional corrections in their most difficult patients. To facilitate this goal, we provide a list of recommended equipment that CLEAR Institute endorses as safe and effective, including vibration therapy equipment invented by Dr. Woggon.
CLEAR Institute has recently begun to enlist the support of chiropractors across the nation who are recognized as leaders in spinal biomechanics and can help introduce others to our organization. An important prerequisite prior to joining CLEAR Institute is that the chiropractor must have an active practice; while research may prove the effectiveness of treatment, only clinical experience can prove its practicality. I thank you sincerely for your interest in CLEAR Institute; with your help, we hope to spread a message of hope and healing across the world; chiropractic CAN help scoliosis, and CLEAR Institute will lead the way!
