Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Most of the orthos I have spoken to do not prescribe it because they claim they have not seen any proof to date that the Spinecor brace works. I believe the one study on Spinecor was published by the makers of the brace. The few 'success stories' I have heard were of children with small curves to begin with so they may not have progressed anyway. Unfortunately, much more often, I have heard of patients who wore the Spinecor (sometimes through the adolescent growth spurt) and progressed, many to the point of needing fusion. One big issue I have with Spinecor is that x-rays are only taken in-brace. Every ortho I have spoken with insists that in order to get an accurate reading of a patient's curve the brace (any brace) must be removed for 24-48 hours prior to the x-ray. I'm not trying to sound negative, just being candid. If it were my child I would not take a chance with Spinecor. Best of luck. > > I asked my ortho doc about it and he said there is only research done on adolescents no young children. > > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: <candice_welch85@...> > infantile scoliosis treatment > Sent: Friday, February 10, 2012 11:11 PM > Subject: Spine Core Brace. > > > Â > Anyone have any info on the Spine core brace??? we are going to have a cast break this summer and will be going into a brace. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
