ABOUT THE DOCTOR

Dr. Tom Morison

Rhode Island Scoliosis Center is considered one of the region’s most respected resources for cutting edge conservative Scoliosis treatment. Located inside of Northeast Chiropractic and founded by Dr. Thomas Morison D.C., the center is a resource for patients with severe spinal deformities such as Scoliosis, Thoracic Hyper-Kyphosis and other complicated spinal conditions.

Dr Morison is certified in both ScoliBrace® and ScoliBalance® and his expertise and treatment is sought by patients with adult “de novo” scoliosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, juvenile idiopathic scoliosis, thoracic hyperkyphosis, and other major postural anomalies. At the forefront of conservative treatment for Scoliosis, Dr. Morison uses a specific method of treatment which includes an over-corrective approach during treatment and bracing.

This allows for an end goal of achieving the most symmetrical spine and posture possible post treatment. Most of our therapies and bracing are done in the mirror image or inverse position of the spinal configuration that the patient presents with. We have helped many patients reduce their curves and maintain them, in turn experiencing less pain and disability.

Not all cases of scoliosis require bracing, but when they do we utilize ScoliBrace™ a state of the art system that customizes bracing for scoliosis patients using a computerized 3-D scanner system. Unlike traditional bracing methods that are designed to limit movement, the ScoliBrace™ is corrective in nature and redirects the spine toward a corrected position. We also make braces for other postural problems and conditions including Thoracic Hyper-Kyphosis.
