Revolutionizing Scoliosis Treatment in Austin, Texas

SpineCor is radically different from conventional rigid or semi-rigid braces, which restrict motion, causing muscle atrophy and spinal weakness. SpineCor is a unique scoliosis brace in the fact that the results are achieved from the biofeedback produced by the interaction of the brace with the patient’s neuromuscular system. Furthermore, it allows full range of motion while balancing and strengthening spinal musculature, creating postural re-education using biofeedback while integrating the corrective movement neurologically. SpineCor was created to support the muscular, neurological and skeletal systems simultaneously, built upon the philosophy that movement really is life. Think of Spinecor as band assisted rehab for the treatment of scoliosis.

Spinecor was developed in the early 1990s after rigorous research and clinical trials by a team of 65 researchers based at Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal, Canada. Although originally used as a bracing treatment for children with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), it became clear that the SpineCor brace greatly reduced related pain in adults, as well. The National Scoliosis Foundation provides excellent information for families into the research and development of SpineCor. Here are two interviews from an adolescent and adult patient who have used SpineCor for their scoliosis treatments.
