01. How does this procedure work? We have always been told that the position of the ribcage can not be altered non surgically, because pectus is a combination of excess bone and cartilage infused in a solid state.
Nicolas Andry, the man considered the "Father of Orthopaedics," in his book L’orthopédie ou l’art de prev’enir et de corriger dans les enfants, les difformités du corps, published in Paris in 1741, observed that limb deformities could be corrected through conservative methods of treatment. Later, Julius Wolff described what is accepted as a law in Orthopaedics: "The bone tissue is a dynamic structure that can be remodeled according to external forces." What we have been doing is using these concepts to correct pectus deformities. Despite being solid, bone and cartilage are live substances that have the capacity of remodeling. The younger the patient the greater is his/her potential for osteocartilaginous remodeling, but such a remodeling occurs throughout life.

If it works with pectus deformities.. why not with spine deformities too?..http://www.orthopectus.net/index.php...:faq-&Itemid=4
