The incessant anti-bracing, pro-surgery cheering squad on this site has obviously influenced my opinion of the study. And others have stated that the study has been designed to disprove bracing effectiveness, so it will be interesting to take apart their study when they're done. It better be unimpeachable.
And there certainly are people who want to restrict other people's decisions about scoliosis treatment to certain surgical procedures. Just like they want to shut down the research section and "control" the proper information flow.
And really, I don't care that all of you don't like bracing. No one forced your kids to brace, and none of you braced. I don't "like" bracing either...just as I wouldn't "like" to have a colostomy bag or a wheelchair, but the bracing has been successful. And I'm glad I made that decision and wouldn't have made any other. And I question why bracers are always being challenged on their decisions, like we love to torture our kids and the challengers don't.
