Shiners used Spinecor in Erie, PA
Just an FYI-Erie Shriners braced with Spinecor as well as other hard braces with an orthopedic surgeon overseeing the orthotist when we went in 2006. We did go there and they do not charge for the brace if recommended. We were advised no brace would hold my daughters curve, which was also advised as true by a second opinion at Scottish Rite, and confirmed with eventual surgery. However Spinecor has been recommended and used, by an orthopedic surgeon there, at least then, but I don't know if they still do or not, to be honest. Just thought that was worth mentioning. I don't think that Spinecor, developed by orthopedic surgeons, to my knowledge, Dr. Rivard, or most are the problem or issue. I do think there are a minority of those bracing, that are the ones giving Spinecor an unfortunate negative taint. I agree parents have to research and do what they feel is best for their own child.
