No side effects. Rigid braces cause muscle atrophy and can be harmful to normal development in a growing child.
Excellent treatment results, particularly when treatment is started early.
Excellent stability of treatment results post bracing.
Neuromuscular integration for maintenance of improved posture.
Potential to reduce incidence of surgical intervention.

The SpineCor Dynamic Corrective Brace

The first section consists of the pelvic base (1), the crotch bands (2) and the thigh bands (3). Its role is to act as an anchoring point and support for the actions applied to the patient's trunk by the corrective elastic bands.

The second section consists of the bolero (4) and the corrective elastic bands (5). This is the part designed to make the correction ofthe scoliosis curve. The fitting of the corrective bands is specific for each patient and depends on the type of curve.

Spinecor Dynamic Corrective Movement

What makes the SpineCor brace so different is in the concept of the brace. Rigid braces ( like the Boston Brace) work by forcing the spine into position, with the 3-point pressure principle. Rigid braces, however, are much like a cast in the fact that their use promotes muscular atrophy, which can destabilize the spine.

The SpineCor brace is a soft Flexible dynamic brace that does not physically force the patient’s spine into position, but rather assists the patient into maintaining what is called the Corrective Movement. The Spinecor Corrective Movement is based upon the concept that each type of scoliosis has a postural movement that will unwind the patient’s scoliosis and straighten the spine. The elastic bands that comprise the SpineCor brace are then applied in certain configurations to keep the patient in their corrective movement.

So the Corrective Movement Principle utilized by the SpineCor brace will actually produce positive changes in the Muscular system and the neurological system. Rigid braces only apply stress to the osseous structures, which leaves the muscular system to weaken, hence the high failure rate of rigid braces.
