?wisconsin spincor patients
Our 5yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with a 39 thoracic and 33 lumbar and we are considering spinecor but we have not been able to locate someone in the state of wisconsin who does this....any ideas? Also, we would love to have results of children in this age group who are using spinecor. What is up with the potty issues of the brace as Emma is a kindergartener.

im stuck with a wierd spanish/german brace: the Rigo Cheaneu...anybody heard of it? or have it?Hey, so I'm Rebecca, I'm 20 and I wore a Boston Brace for one year, and then a Cheneau brace for 5+ years. The Cheneau changed my life. I now am out of brace full time!!!! Its amazing. For all my scoli-girls (and guys of course) hang in there - the day you get your brace off is the best feeling ever. All the years of wearing it won't matter when that day comes. amo vobis!

I understand the Cheneau brace that is widely used in Europe yeilds amazing results. I have heard the correction is excellent. What kind of correction do you achieve with yours?Last edited by cherylplinder; 09-27-2006, 11:24 AM.God has used scoliosis to strengthen and mold us. He's good all the time!On this forum these larger curves have not held forever in Spinecor,with an initial positive response followed by deterioration. With deterioration, change treatment.The first year she gained 4 or 5 inches and was stable at around 20/20 in brace, followed by rapid progression the next year.She is now 51/40 (Jan2008)out of brace (40/30 in Spinecor) and started at 38/27 out of brace(Jan2006.) Now in Cheneau.

My Brace
I wear a charelston brace!Its not that bad.Just a hint(get a colored brace)
it makes the plastic softer.My twin sister and I both have the same curve and we both wear the same brace.Hers is just the natural color and she is having a harder time sleeping in it than me!LOL so get a colored one if u get the charelston brace!

i wore a boston brace for two years , and two different braces because i grew out the fast . if this is the kind of brace that you are getting i recoment just getting a white one .... the first brace that i has was pink, purple, and blue and i found it really easy to see the color through my cloths . i also had problems finding cloths that fit but you get used to it.
hope for the best,

the future in a brace
I have been sitting here reading from all of your posts.I am wondering my 12yr old just got her tlso brace 3 days ago.She has to wear it 23hrs a day.She is very depressed (mostly about the way she looks) I often read about 3rd and 4th braces.How often are you changed? We go for xrays every three months.Also this spinecor brace My Dr. never even mentioned it....I wonder why?If its more comfortable I WANT IT FOR HER Do you have to have a certain curve?I have never heard of it til this siteMother of Nichole 12yrs old and Madison 4yrs old
