Spincecor
Celia,
I just asked my husband if he remembered and he thinks it was 24 degrees on the day of fitting and it definitely went up 2 degrees the following month. She has a 37 degree curve without the brace. What I don't understand is why I was told that most kids only get about a 5 degree correction when they first put on the Spinecor brace. At least I think that's what Dr Deutchman said. He was really excited about the 24 degrees. And he has never been the type to make promises or tell us this is definitely going to work for Nicole. He has been very honest about not knowing what's going to be. The only time he showed any enthusiasm was when she got the 24. Do any of you know anything more about this? Is it true that most kids don't get a huge decrease on the day of the fitting? Melissa
