by congenital, developmental or degenerative problems, but most cases of scoliosis actually have no known cause (idiopathic scoliosis) . Why is early detection and treatment of scoliosis of great importance in children? During growth spurts, scoliosis curves can progress rapidly, making parents wish they had braced their child earlier. The “let’s wait and see what happens” attitude is not recommended; a treatable adolescent scoliosis has the best outcome potential if immediate and regular attention is given. It is biologically easier to change the direction of a curve that is still growing than one that has stopped growing. The smaller the scoliosis curve the better the prognosis (predicted outcome of treatment). The SpineCor brace is designed to allow for total freedom of movement.
S
coliosis is a condition involving an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It can be caused

the SpineCor brace to participate in all activities while wearing the brace under clothing. And because it is virtually un- detectable, children are more prone to wear it as directed. This increases com- pliance and results in greater changes. Past braces utilized rigid structures
This is especially important for children: movement allows for proprioceptive input to the brain (the input from nerves in your joints telling the brain where a part of your body is at any given time). The SpineCor brace also allows for the strengthening of muscles through nor- mal activity, rather than a weakening or atrophy of muscles due to lack of move- ment. We encourage children fi tted with
to physically apply pressure to the spine and force it back into a more normal position. A revolutionary new concept in the treatment of scoliosis, the SpineCor brace is completely different in that it is not rigid and does not force the spine to move. It is the fi rst and only true dynamic bracing system for idiopathic scoliosis. SpineCor’s unique approach to treatment by global postural re-education has been shown to give progressive correction over time which, unlike any previous brace treatment, is extremely stable post-brace weaning. Clinical experience to date also shows better compliance and cosmetic results. SpineCor Custom Scoliosis Braces are
