emotions running high

[tbella]

hello everyone. i am new here. i am 37 and wore a hard brace during high school. i was originally diagnosed with a lumbar curve of 37 (not sure of thoracic). i have made an appointment in chicago for this monday to check out the spinecor brace. i have been really emotional about this. i want to go and have the consult, but i am a little nervous about where my curves measure right now. and i think it is the anxiety, plus feelings of the past when all of this started. (i was diagnosed late--12 years old). in the beginning i was really excited that i am doing something good for myself and getting everything checked out, but the closer it gets the more emotional it gets!!! any thoughts?

Just an encouragement to give it a try. My daughter wears SpineCor and her chiropractor is also currently treating a few adults. Although the SpineCor brace certainly won't be a cure for them, they are getting pain relief and a decrease in curvature. One woman is in her late 30's and her curves have gone from the mid 30's to the high 20's. I can't remember exactly but I think she's been wearing the brace 6-9 months.

thanks for the reply. that is definitely encouraging. i have not seen much about adults using the spinecor, so i appreciate it

I agree, I think it is a great idea to carry on forward with the Spine cor brace and see where it takes you.
I dont know if you have read any of the spinecor thread on the forum but there are hundreds of posts about it.
Keep positive tbella, I think its a wonderful idea. I am excited for you so please keep in touch.
Actually what are your curves now??
