SpineCor® is
a new breakthrough treatment for idiopathic scoliosis utilising
a dynamic corrective brace (DCB), clinical assistant diagnostic
software (SAS) and postural measurement equipment (Freepoint).
In worldwide clinical use, this new treatment has been shown to
be effective in 89% of cases (either by stabilisation or improvement
in (Cobb) angle of the curve).
The SpineCor® treatment approach is completely
different to that of traditional 3-point pressure rigid braces;
it is the first and only true dynamic bracing system for idiopathic
scoliosis. SpineCor®’s unique approach to treatment by
global postural re-education has been shown to give progressive
correction over time which, unlike any previous brace treatment,
is extremely stable post brace weaning.
Clinical experience to date also shows better compliance
and cosmetic results.
SpineCor®:
- Allows patients four hours per day out of brace
- Allows total freedom of movement
- Offers better cosmesis under clothing, and
- Is cooler to wear.
With all of these benefits, it is not difficult
to see why compliance might be better than with bulky, rigid braces
that severely restrict movement and must be worn 23 hours per day.
Although to date no specific study has been undertaken
to quantify cosmetic improvement, subjectively, some striking improvements
have been observed clinically. Additionally, some very positive
postural changes have been noted in cases where there has been
no change in Cobb angle.
SpineCor® is a highly
effective for the early treatment of idiopathic scoliosis as
demonstrated in the case study and also offers significant benefits
to patients who present late. The real challenge is, therefore,
to increase awareness of the absolute importance of early diagnosis
and, that a viable treatment for early intervention is now available.

A
much more acceptable treatment to patients, being cooler to wear,
less restrictive, more easily concealed under clothing and 4 hours
of out of brace time per day.
