Scoliosis Treatment

The traditional non-surgical treatment for scoliosis has been "hard bracing".

Hard bracing, however, has many side effects, is very uncomfortable, and research has shown it to be mostly ineffective.

SpineCor® vs. Hard Bracing

SpineCor® is 4 times more effective in stopping curve progression than the most commonly used scoliosis treatment in the UK (the Boston Brace) . It has shown to be 71% more effective in preventing surgery than the Boston Brace. It is vastly more comfortable, allows freedom of movement, and is nearly invisible under clothing.

The SpineCor® brace works on a completely different principle to hard bracing. Rather than using brute force to try to straighten the spine, SpineCor® uses a series of soft elastic bands to reverse the patient's abnormal posture by using a "corrective movement".

Unlike the Boston Brace, which weakens the muscles and stiffens the spine, the SpineCor® Brace allows movement, keeps the spine flexible, and actually strengthens the supporting muscles of the spine.

SpineCor® and Exercise Programs

Research on scoliosis treatment using physiotherapy or intense rehabilitation programs alone has shown these treatments to be mostly ineffective.

SpineCor® has developed a specific physiotherapy program designed to work in tandem with the SpineCor® brace. It is not recommended that patients use any other physiotherapy or exercise programs in conjunction with SpineCor.
