SCOLIOSIS: One of 52 doctors in the WORLD providing a specialized non-surgical treatment for Scoliosis - located in KANSAS CITY.

One of 52 Doctors in the World Providing a Specialized Non-Surgical, Non-Bracing Treatment for SCOLIOSIS – Located in KC!

Dr. Nick Weddle opened the doors of hope with a new option for scoliosis treatment in Kansas City.  This treatment is unique, it’s a non-surgical and non-bracing treatment that helps maintain and correct curvature. For many years the standard care for scoliosis treatment has been bracing and surgery.  Bracing is used as an attempt to stop the progression of a curve in growing youth, while surgery is recommended for those with a severe curvature. These two treatment options leave little hope for patients who have reached skeletal maturity and have mild to moderate scoliosis.

According to Dr. Nick Weddle, “Many patients are still told that their only options are bracing and surgery.  Most people are basically told they just have to live with it unless it gets big enough for surgery, where they fuse metal rods to your spine.”  Thankfully, this is no longer the case.

In the summer of 2015, Dr. Weddle received national recognition by becoming one of 52 doctors in the world to be certified in the CLEAR non-surgical treatment for scoliosis.

He says, “This process has taken me several years to complete, and has changed the treatment options for the 18,000+ people suffering with scoliosis in the KC area, and even the Midwest too.”

I am a patient whose hope was restored!  Throughout the years I visited multiple doctors in search of treatment, in search of help, but found none.  As an adult my curve reached 42.5 degrees - causing pain, limitations, insecurity, fear, and a noticeable deformity in my back.  I desperately wanted to do something to improve my condition, but I couldn’t locate any treatment options for an adult with moderate scoliosis.  I felt helpless and had much anxiety about how this condition would continue to affect me through time --- and then I found Dr. Nick!

The physical pain, emotional scars, fear, and self-consciousness are gone!  It's hard to believe after years of laboriously working to hide the postural deformity in my back (and being told there was nothing I could do about it) - that I’ve arrived here in this place. Today I stand in this place - the same girl, but with a different reflection; a woman who has made a statement to Hide No More and remain confident while continuing to strive for correction.  I'm so happy with the physical and visual changes that I've experienced, and so very thankful for this treatment!

I put this short video together to tell my story of hope --- may it deliver hope to others.   It includes a few pictures to show how this treatment has changed my world.
