  Dr. T. Foster Bryant is ScoliCare Naples’ Head Scoliosis Clinician. Dr. T. graduated from Auburn University in 1998 with a B.S. in Exercise Science with honors, Cum Laude. While at Auburn, Dr. T. was involved in research and doctoral studies related to Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics and Human and Motor Development. He was also awarded a full athletic scholarship and served as an Auburn University Ambassador. After graduating Dr. T. went on to Life Chiropractic University for his Doctorate in Chiropractic. During his time at Life, he received his Fellowship in Chiropractic Pediatrics from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

  Post-graduation, he moved to Naples, Florida, and opened his practice. Specializing in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), he put special emphasis on corrective spinal rehabilitation.

  In 2015, Dr. T. became a ScoliBrace clinician and expanded his practice to meet the needs of the Naples community and beyond. His passion for taking care of older individuals with spinal deformities and collapsing postures naturally progressed into utilizing the science and technology of the ScoliBrace and KyphoBrace.

Dr. T also consults for Scoliosis, Hyperkyphosis, and spinal deformity cases worldwide. He is looking forward to advancing the science and research on Scoliosis and other spinal deformities with his colleagues in SOSORT and CBP.

  Session details

  Chiropractors often feel isolated in the discussion of mainstream healthcare, believing an equal seat at the healthcare table is far fetched. This class will prove that this isolated thinking is a way of the past, and the future of healthcare depends on the integration of chiropractic, and strategic care plans for your patient is now more than ever; yet it is our job to communicate this effectively. We have invited a panel of doctors to illustrate how documentation and record keeping are communication tools that allow us to interact with the allopathic community. Documented results from Gallup Poll #3 will be followed by chiropractors focusing on different areas of interactive success between chiropractors and the medical model, showcasing how the collaborative community has the greatest benefit for patients. If chiropractic is to take a prominent seat at the healthcare table, it will have to do so with research, statistics, an established outlined care of plan as described by the participants in this panel, and in a spirit of cooperation. With the climate of society and ever changing healthcare, the time is NOW!
