Also, you are correct about the reasons WHY many dismiss the data published by Rivard/Colliard - not only because they, unlike Dr. Betz, are making money from Spinecor but there has been much discussion (and I know several patients this happened to) that their in-brace measurements are NOT reflective of a child's true curve and in many cases, once the true degree of curve is discovered the window has past for treating it either with another brace or VBS.
Dr. Rivard even went so far as to tell one patient that if his brace didn't work, then no other brace would work. He clearly didn't want to lose a patient - or perhaps more accurately a "customer" because his practice and that of the chrios prescribing Spinecor seems to be a run like a business rather than the practice of medicine.
