thanks for the replys,
I think it is the TR that makes the difference too but the I have to admit the night time brace forces the curve back the opposite way so I cant help but
to think that it may be playing a part in this too.
Scoliosis is so frustrating because some things work for some and not others.
We had the brace tech guy do a little work on it yesterday as there was a spot where it was rubbing on her too much.
I asked him if he saw any difference between all day braces and night time braces and if they always worked etc.
He said he sees the night time one work better than the day time one but he also said they seem to work for some but not all. But the one thing
he was quite sure about is compliance is the biggest factor for success that he sees.
His son has scoliosis and a brace didnt work for him but the he said most nights he would hear the sound of the brace hitting the floor when his son took it off.
As hard as he tried he just couldnt get his son to wear it enough.
The good part with Nalina is that she sleeps very soundly and goes to sleep easily, so she doesn't fight the brace and it stays on at least 10 hours a night.
We do give her a night off now and then for camping, sleep overs etc but not much. maybe 6 or 7 nights in the last year.
So I guess I have to think the brace may be of some help too, but again I feel the TR is the biggest factor going.
I have thought many times about abandoning the brace and just doing the TR but I am afraid to take the chance.
thanks again for the support
