Hello everybody
My name is Raquel. I´m from Spain. My daugther who is 6 years old has been diagnosticated of scoliosis recently. In fact I was the one who detected something "not normal" in her chest (last left rib outcoming more than the other). The pediatric traumatolog told us she has a 35 degrees scoliosis and needed a brace. She has been in her boston brace for one month and a half. She is bearing it really great (I can´t believe it- she has no complains) but I´m worried about muscle atrophy and lack of effects. I have read a lot about spinecor and seems great but I ask a spanish doctor (only two places in Spain has spinecor) and he has never put it to someone so young (I asked him about it, he wouldn´t have told me). He told me to visit him but that fact discouraged me.
I´d love Celia Vogel or anyone else to answer some questions, please:
Do you think I should try with this doctor who never use it with someone so young?
I think I don´t have a lot of time because I have read that after more than 6 months in a rigid brace the spinecor has no longer effects. Is it so?
If I would spend a lot of money going to Canada for the first visit to put the brace in, would that be enough or we would need to make there much more visits?
How is it possible 35º without realizing anything before? Does that mean a bad future?
Please answer me I´m going crazy trying to take a decission (and it is harder to think of changing when she is doing great with the Boston brace)
Sorry for my english- hope I can make myself understood.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
