- MOM OpiNov 6, 20251.0I agree with Chris Conger. I found the staff to be professional and respectful. Dr Chris not so much. There are so many options for scoliosis care in the Denver area. For those of us just looking for some pain relief and or better mobility and wanting to be treated with respect and caring, this perhaps is not the clinic for you.
- BABrenna AldermanNov 3, 20255.0Dr Gubbels was very professional and gave us hope that our son can see improvement to his spine.
- CBCraton BullerOct 22, 20255.0We have been very happy with our care here. I have even recommended people to come here.
- SWStaci Hawkins WroblewskiOct 21, 20255.0I’ve been with Scolicare for the past year and what a wonderful experience it has been! Quality care from Dr. Chris Gubbles and the PT Danielle. Getting my pain under control, custom fitted with a back brace! Much better than back surgery case!
- DGDenise GeorgeOct 15, 20255.0I highly recommend this ScoliCare Clinic. It is the ONLY fully equipped Scolibrace provider in the entire Denver area. Not only does Dr. Chris Gubbels provide careful and professional exams and advice, he uses the 3D imaging to create a custom Scolibrace that truly fits perfectly! I am 69 years old with severe scoliosis. I was diagnosed as an adolescent and wore the Milwaukee brace in high school. I was told I wouldn’t progress after having one 33 degree curve at twenty one years old. But I did progress. And at 42 years old, I not only had significant pain, I had a 35 degree thoracic and 45 degree lumbar curve which eventually worsened to 54 degree thoracic and 69 degree lumbar curve at 53 years old. So much pain!! So I was desperately searching for a solution. Even the orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Vikas Patel) recommended surgery only as a last resort as I would have to have my entire spine fused. And at 64 years old, very risky. I had tried the Copes brace, the SpineCor brace, a version of the Rigo-Cheneau brace along with years of Schroth Therapy. I was so ready to totally give up! I still endured so much chronic pain and I wasn’t willing to take any narcotics or pain meds of any sort because of all the bad side effects. I am always looking for new treatments and I came across the Scolibrace. I was fitted at a different clinic in the area but was not happy with the therapy I was receiving there. I discovered the ScoliCare Clinic last July (2025) in Westminster and paid a visit to Dr. Chris Gubbels. He assessed the problem immediately. I hadn’t been told by the other clinic how to properly wear the brace! I was wearing it way too loosely. Dr. Chris showed me how to wear it correctly and he set me up with, honestly, the best physical therapist that I have ever been to: Danielle Temple, who works for Dr. Chris. Danielle gives me exercises each time I go (about every two weeks). What I like is she really knows scoliosis and she gives me exercises that are not overwhelming. They are tailored exactly to my particular case of scoliosis. She spends the whole session just with me (unlike the other clinic) and she corrects me kindly if I do it wrong.😊Also! What is truly helpful is she puts all the exercises on the SimpleSet App (with pictures and little videos) so I know exactly what to do when I get home! The App is so fun! It keeps track and sends little rewards as you do the exercises! I am actually getting stronger and straighter at 69 years old!! I actually can hold myself up straight!! I am developing strong back and shoulder muscles!! I am just so thankful for this ScoliCare Clinic in Westminster. I drive from Colorado Springs but I don’t mind. It’s the best care I have ever received. I wish I would have come here first!! Thanks Dr. Chris and Danielle for your expert help!🙌
Frequently Asked Questions About ScoliCare Denver Colorado
How does a ScoliBalance program work?
ScoliBalance is a scoliosis specific exercise program that follows the principles of the SOSORT international guidelines. In this program ScoliBalance Providers teach scoliosis specific 3D posture corrections so that the patient learns how to improve their posture. From there they are taught exercises whereby they hold their ScoliCorrections while they perform exercises specifically prescribed for them. The program often incorporates the use of the ScoliRoll (for scoliosis) or Denneroll (for hyperkyphosis).
Can ScoliBalance be used for hyperkyphosis and Scheuermann's disease?
Yes. In this instance the program is modified to account for the changes that are creating the increasingly kyphotic posture in the patient. In some cases, the patient may have hyperkyphosis and scoliosis and the program can also be tailored accordingly.
Does Bracing for Adults with Scoliosis Work?
In the clinic we have found it is best to consider each patient individually, but generally about four to six hours of brace wear per day* seems to be appropriate in many cases. Scoliosis specific exercises may have a place too and can often be the first step to take for these patients. However, if you have a very unstable and progressive curve, then bracing may be a very viable option for your patient. If you have a patient you are concerned about, feel free to contact us.
How ScoliCare Implements Patient-Centered Scoliosis Care?
Our multidisciplinary approach combines custom bracing and advanced rehabilitation therapies to create personalized treatment plans. We are agnostic and will recommend surgery if necessary and, in the patient’s, best interests. By fostering a collaborative relationship among patients, families and our experienced team, we empower our patients to take an active role in their care, promoting better health and quality of life.
