The SpineCor concept is unique in the fact that the results are achieved not so much by the brace but by the interaction of the brace with the patient's Corrective Movement. Researchers at the St. Justine Children’s Hospital in Montreal Canada developed corrective movements for all 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 and 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 rehab.
