Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My daughter used the Spinecore brace with Dr. Boachie of NYC. I have severe scoliosis, fused T1 to L4 so the potential was there for my daughter to also get it severely. It definitely worked for her but Dr. Boachie explained to me it does not work for everyone, that he would know within 6 months if it was working or she had to switch to a more traditional brace, and he made significant adjustments to the brace itself along with his prosthetic doctor (they worked hand in hand from Hospital for Special Surgery). She had to go every month for adjustments for quite awhile. He also explained it depended on when the scoliosis was found and her Riser score (bone formation). She had just gotten her period which was the beginning of her maturity development which was perfect. When she was first diagnosed and started wearing the brace she was 21 degrees thoracic and 10 degrees lumbar. She is now stable at 13 degrees thoracic and 0 degrees lumbar. She was 13 when she started wearing it and finished around 15-1/2. She is now 18. I don't know about its use on adults. I hope this helps.
