Hi Mymollybt,
I just wanted to say that you will be in great hands at Shriners, Philly. We have been taking my son there since December, 2003. In fact, we went there to find an option to full time bracing for him.
As far as I know, none of the doctors there will prescribe the Spinecor brace.
(Who are you seeing by the way?)
That being said, they are TOPS in the field and it will be great to at least get their opinion on your daughter's case. In addition to bracing, if your daughter were to require surgery, they offer several non-fusion alternatives, such as VBS which my son had.
Best of luck to you - and feel free to ask me anything or e-mail me.
