I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Alfonso and his incredible team! From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt truly cared for. After being a pedestrian hit by a vehicle, I was unsure if I’d ever feel like myself again

Living with Scoliosis Is More Than Just a Curve
on an X-Ray
Whether you’re a concerned parent or an adult struggling with chronic pain, scoliosis impacts far more than your posture — it affects how you feel, move, and function every day.
For children and teens, scoliosis can cause:
- Uneven shoulders, hips, or ribs
- Fatigue or back pain after standing or sitting
- Trouble sleeping or staying focused in school
- Embarrassment or anxiety about appearance
- Worsening posture despite physical therapy or bracing
For adults, scoliosis often leads to:
- Chronic back, neck, or hip pain
- Disc degeneration, herniations, and nerve compression
- Joint wear-and-tear in the spine, hips, or knees
- Stiffness, reduced flexibility, and limited range of motion
- Poor sleep, fatigue, and digestive problems
- A slow but steady worsening of spinal curves over time
Many of our patients come to us after years of frustration — told to wear a brace, take pain meds, or “wait and see” until surgery becomes necessary.
We understand what you’re going through — and we’re here to help.
There Is a Better Way — And It Starts With the Right Doctor
At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness, we don’t just monitor your scoliosis — we work to actively improve it.
Meet Dr. Mark N. Berry
With over 20 years of experience treating scoliosis without surgery or bracing, Dr. Berry is a recognized leader in non-surgical scoliosis care. He’s trained doctors around the world, led international scoliosis clinics, and developed protocols that have helped thousands of patients reduce their spinal curves and regain their quality of life
We Diagnose What Others Miss
Most scoliosis evaluations stop at Cobb angles. We go much further — using advanced testing to uncover the neurological, genetic, hormonal, and structural imbalances that cause the curve in the first place.
Our diagnostic process includes:
Standing & Sitting X-Rays – to measure curve severity, rotation, and postural loading
Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) – reveals curve flexibility, ligament instability, and biomechanical issues not visible on MRI, CT, or static films
Neurological Testing – evaluates brain-spine reflexes that control posture and coordination
Genetic, Hormonal & Neurotransmitter Testing – identifies 28 DNA variants that affects the neurotransmitter and hormone production/imbalances that contribute to scoliosis progression
This allows us to create a truly personalized treatment plan — based on how your scoliosis works, not just how it looks.
A Treatment Plan That Trains the Spine and Retrains the Brain
Once we understand the root cause of your scoliosis, we build a comprehensive, non-surgical treatment plan to help realign the spine, restore neurological control, and reduce your curve safely and naturally.
In-Clinic Realignment & Rehab
- Specialized therapies to reduce tissue tension and rehydrate discs
- X-ray-guided spinal adjustments to restore alignment
- A proprietary body-weighting system that stimulates the brain’s posture centers and retrains stability reflexes
The Scoliosis Activity Suit (SAS)
- A proprietary body-weighting system that stimulates the brain’s posture centers and retrains stability reflexes
- Specialized therapies to reduce tissue tension and rehydrate discs
- X-ray-guided spinal adjustments to restore alignment
Targeted Nutritional Support
Based on lab testing results, patients receive customized supplements to support neurotransmitter balance and hormonal function — essential for posture, growth, and coordination
At-Home Support
Daily exercises and protocols designed to reinforce in-clinic gains and reduce long-term dependence on care
This is not a one-size-fits-all program — every detail of your care is tailored to your curve, your neurology, and your biochemistry.
Real Results Our Patients Experience
We don’t just aim to slow scoliosis — we aim to help you overcome it. Our treatment approach is designed to deliver measurable, lasting improvements by addressing the true root causes.
Improved Spinal Curvature
Reduce the Cobb angle and stop progression
even in moderate to severe cases.
How: In-clinic therapies, neurological retraining,
and the Scoliosis Activity Suit help reduce curves by activating deep postural control systems.
Relief From Pain and Stiffness
Less daily discomfort. Better mobility. Decreased dependence on pain meds or braces.
How: Muscle tension release, spinal decompression, and structural correction relieve nerve stress and improve mobility.
Restored Function and Quality of Life
Move better. Breathe deeper. Sleep easier. Live stronger.
How: Correcting alignment and restoring neurological control improves energy, digestion, balance, and posture
These are often dismissed or misdiagnosed — especially if traditional imaging comes back “normal.
What to Expect As a New Scoliosis Patient
Step 1: One-on-One Consultation
We begin by listening. You’ll sit down with Dr. Berry to review your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and goals.
Step 2: Advanced Spinal Imaging & Neurological Testing
- Standing & Sitting X-Rays – assess curve angles and postural distortions
- Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) – reveals flexibility and instability
- Postural & Neurological Exams – assess reflexes, balance, and coordination
- Lung Function Testing – evaluates breathing capacity and thoracic compression
Step 3: Root-Cause Biochemical Testing
Neurotransmitter & Hormone Panels – assess biochemical imbalances that impact posture and spinal growth
DNA Variant Testing – screens for 28 scoliosis-linked gene variants
Step 4: Personalized Report of Findings
- You’ll get a full breakdown of your condition and a step-by-step, customized plan for scoliosis reduction and functional recovery.
Step 5: Start Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Begin in-clinic care, home exercises, nutritional support, and (if prescribed) Scoliosis Activity Suit therapy — all tailored to you.
Still Have Questions About Scoliosis Treatment?
Can scoliosis really be improved without bracing or surgery?
Yes. Many patients reduce their curves and improve function without surgery. Our method targets the neurological and structural causes using advanced diagnostics, in-clinic therapy, and scoliosis-specific home rehab
My child was told to “watch and wait.” Is that really the best option?
No. Early intervention leads to better outcomes. “Watch and wait” can allow the curve to worsen. Our program provides proactive, non-invasive care during crucial growth stages.
I’ve already tried chiropractic, therapy, or exercise. What makes this different?
Most treatments don’t address the root neurological, genetic, or hormonal factors. Our approach combines scoliosis-specific diagnostics with realignment, neuro-retraining, genetic testing, and targeted supplementation.
Do I need a referral or prior diagnosis?
No referral is needed. Whether newly diagnosed or dealing with scoliosis for years, you can schedule directly with us. We’ll build a plan customized to your unique needs.
What role do supplements play in your scoliosis program?
We use targeted, natural supplements based on your DNA and lab results to correct imbalances in neurotransmitters and hormones. This enhances posture control, bone development, and neuromuscular coordination.
Is this only for kids, or can adults benefit too?
Adults can benefit significantly. While growth-phase correction doesn’t apply, many adults experience pain relief, improved function, and even curve reduction or stabilization with our program.
How much does treatment cost?
Costs vary based on your condition and treatment plan. We offer flexible payment options and provide a full explanation of fees before starting. No surprise bills — just clear, honest care.
