Our daughter was treated with the SpineCor brace from June 1999 (age 11) until April 2003. I am happy to report that her curve has stayed stable one year after bracing stopped.
She was treated by Dr. Charles Rivard and Dr. Christine Coillard at Hospital St. Justine in Montreal.
We are so thankful for the results.
Additionally, our daughter was able to wear a dynamic brace that allowed:
- full body movement
- no discomfort
- no issues with breathing or eating
- no skin irritation
- no untoward effects on her body due to the brace
The bracing protocol actually helps the patient learn new behaviors that are beneficial.

I'm sorry if this reads like an advertisement; it certainly is not. However, our daughter was originally prescribed with a traditional TLSO brace in the fall of 1998. It was a combination of her resistance to wearing that brace plus the lucky situation of seeing a posting on the MIT scoliosis mailing list about the SpineCor brace that led to our daughter being a pathfinder and electing to wear the SpineCor brace.
The medical establishment moves very slowly. I'm no expert in this field; however, I do see the obvious benefits to our children of wearing a comfortable brace that may actually be better for them than the hard TLSO brace.
