Hi all,
First, thank you so much for all who post on this board. The issues and information listed here is a valuable help especially to us newbies. My 15-year-old daughter just got diagnosed with Idiopathic Scoliosis and was put into a Boston Brace last week. I guess I don't need to tell anyone how miserable she is especially being a 15-year-old high schooler. She has always been so active and this brace definitely restricts alot of her movement. I felt there had to be something better out there and heard about Spinecor. Spinecor sounds perfect for my daughter, but I am worried because it is new and there is not alot of "long term" data out there. Her curve is about 38-39 degrees. Has anyone else out there have an older child on the spinecor brace? I would be so grateful to hear any and all thoughts on this. My daughter just had her in brace x-ray and it came back with about 31 degrees. I was hoping for a better correction. I spoke with the doctor here in Connecticut and he was neither for nor against spinecor. His recommendation was that if I decided to do spinecor, I should go to the team in Montreal who created it. I have been reading about them here on these boards and they sound great. I was also told by the doctor here that you can hope for a correction wearing the boston brace, but in reality it is considered a success if the curve does not progress. My daughter would love to speak to someone in a spinecor brace and see how they feel about it. Is spinecor even a choice due to the age of my daughter? Again, any feedback would be great and thank you.
