“The Brace you never see”—The ONLY local state-of-the-art fully functional scoliosis rehab facility.

Many people when they are told their son or daughter has scoliosis begin to look for options. They look through the exhaustive amount of information available on the internet and listen to their doctors and they come to two conclusions. One, do nothing, and see if it gets worse and if it does, then there is always surgery. Two, begin therapy or bracing to try to combat the scoliosis. Option two is where we come in. Our office offers the Spinecor dynamic corrective brace for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Why do we offer this brace? Because of personal experience with scoliosis and the options afforded to patients to treat it. And believe me we know all too well the options available out there and we can say we like the Spinecor brace the best and here is why.

Rigid braces are just that RIGID! They are much like a cast and if you have ever worn a cast what does that body part look like when you’re done. Yes, it’s atrophied, weak and the movement is restricted. That’s what rigid braces do to the spine. Hence over 60% of patients who use rigid braces are lost to surgery at 2-year follow up, as Janicki et al. stated in a study in the June 2007 issue of the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics. In that same issue of the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics, is was shown that only 2% of patients using the Spinecor brace were lost to surgery at 2-year follow up.

The other benefits of the Spinecor dynamic corrective brace are:

It’s light weight and fairly comfortable
It is easily worn under clothing and is almost invisible, which means better compliance.
It is flexible and does not restrict movement or exercise, so when the brace comes off the patient isn’t left weakened from the experience.
It only has to be worn 20 hours per day, rigid braces are worn 22 to 23 hours per day.
It works as good if not better in stabilizing or correcting scoliosis curves from 20 to 50 degrees.

So in your search for your treatment of choice, please take these points into consideration and then make the best choice for you or your child. We think that is the Spinecor brace.
