Early detection and
treatment is of great importance in children. The
smaller the curve is when a child is
braced, the better, as early detection often
leads to greater results. The "lets wait and see what happens"
attitude is not recommended
- scoliosis requires immediate
and regular
attention. During growth spurts,
curves can progress rapidly making parents
wish they had braced their child earlier. It is easier to
change the direction of a curve
that is still growing than one that has stopped growing.
The SpineCor brace is
designed to allow for total freedom of
movement. 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 normal activity, rather than
a weakening, or atrophy, of muscles due to lack of
movement. We encourage children fitted with
the SpineCor brace to participate in all activities
while wearing the brace under clothing. And because
it is virtually undetectable, children are more prone to
wear it as directed. This increases compliance results in
greater changes.
