For children, SpineCor scoliosis braces enable the child’s body to develop naturally as they grow, while the curve-specific brace configurations provide localized control of the scoliosis.
We offer different scoliosis bracing systems and exercises that create new neurological and musculoskeletal postural patterns that can correct and stabilize scoliosis spinal curves in adolescents.
SpineCor is a completely flexible scoliosis bracing system that can be worn under your clothing and moves with you so that you can still comfortably enjoy your favorite activities. It works by simultaneously supporting your muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems, allowing new postural patterns to be integrated for permanent correction and stabilization of the curves.
CMP braces are rigid scoliosis braces that can be used when SpineCor is not an appropriate treatment option or a nighttime-only scoliosis brace is preferred. CMP-lite braces are an appropriate and excellent option for Neuromuscular scoliosis patients and offer variable degrees of over-correction according to specific patient flexibility and pressure tolerance. These scoliosis braces combine alignment and elongation to treat spinal curves. They are specifically fitted to control the curve of each individual’s spine.
Providing treatment options for your child’s non-surgical scoliosis treatment will facilitate improved outcomes due to improved compliance. With multiple scoliosis treatment options available from Spine Corporation and Bee Caves Scoliosis & Chiropractic in Austin, Texas, we are confident of offering a scoliosis treatment protocol that your child will follow.
Scoliosis brace wear is a challenge, especially if you consider that the need for bracing usually begins between ages 11 and 16 – just before or during adolescence – which is a notoriously tricky time that already brings plenty of changes. Youngsters of this age no longer see the world through a child’s eyes. Instead, they begin to experience all kinds of doubts and insecurities, and sometimes they are unhappy about the changes in their appearance, or about having to wear dental braces or glasses. It is therefore entirely understandable that being prescribed a rigid scoliosis bracing treatment can be upsetting for them. This is where SpineCor offers a radically new approach in treating idiopathic scoliosis, resulting in a much improved acceptance and compliance with treatment.
Adolescent scoliosis differs from that in adults because young bodies are still developing. If the spine begins to curve abnormally, it creates postural disorganization of the whole body, which results in skeletal dysfunction that is reinforced through neurological feedback loops. Early detection and treatment with the SpineCor scoliosis brace for children provides the best opportunity to correct adolescent scoliosis. The smaller the degree of curve, the better the prognosis for correcting and stopping the progression of the scoliosis curvature. Scoliosis requires prompt and regular attention. During growth spurts, curves can progress quickly. It is easier to achieve a reduction in curve magnitude with a spine that is still growing compared to a spine that has stopped growing.
The SpineCor Corrective Pediatric Brace helps children of all ages. The most common age group is adolescents ages 11-16. The SpineCor scoliosis brace is most effective when bracing starts before the 1st growth spurt, in what is called Risser 0 of the spinal growth process. However, the SpineCor scoliosis brace has been shown to be effective in more advanced years of maturity, known as Risser Signs 1-3, as well. Compliant patients get better results. For most patients, the SpineCor brace is the most comfortable, wearable, efficient and successful scoliosis brace available. Therefore, the acceptance rate is high.
The SpineCor concept is unique in the fact that the results are achieved from the biofeedback produced by the interaction of the brace with the patient’s neuromuscular system. Researchers at the St. Justine Children’s Hospital in Montreal Canada developed corrective movements for all 26 types of idiopathic scoliosis to “open up” or correct the curves. The patient is then braced in that corrective movement and held there 20 hours per day by the elastic bands that make up the scoliosis brace. Elastic bands provide the efficacious action in the brace. As the patient goes through the movements of the day, they stretch the elastic bands and the bands then resist and pull them back into the corrective movement. This stimulates the growth centers in the deformed vertebra and it stimulates the neuromuscular system. Over time, the gentle resistance of the brace and the reprogramming of the body’s neuromuscular pattern stabilizes or corrects the scoliosis in 89% of patients. Patients who use SpineCor are almost 50% less likely to need surgery compared to users of the Boston brace. Think of SpineCor as band-assisted scoliosis rehab done for you!!!
Advantages for Patients Include:
If a nighttime-only brace is deemed a more appropriate or your child is not a candidate for the SpineCor program, consider our Corrective Movement Principle CMP braces. These braces combine alignment and elongation to treat scoliosis curvatures. They are specifically designed to control the curve of each individual’s spine.
