Hi,
We just found out last week that my 11 yr old daughter has an S curve( 27 degrees upper, 19 degrees lower), and her ortho recommended waiting 4 months and rechecking then. At the time, I was relieved that he didn't say she needed bracing now, but in researching this over the weekend, it seems like a gamble to wait. The doctor thinks she has about 6 to 8 more inches of growth and I am now not so comfortable with the wait and see approach. I am very interested in Spinecor for her as opposed to hard bracing and was wanting to go ahead with that. There is so much info out there and I have been feeling quite overwhelmed. The closest ortho listed on the spinecor site is Dr. Dewald in Chicago. Does anyone have any experience with him? Has anyone had a preteen not progress after diagnosis? It almost seems inevitable and I'm afraid we'll go back in May and she'll have progressed more than expected. Thanks!
