Just a little over 2 years ago I had to take my daughters measurements. We had our suspicions and knew something just wasn’t right so we took her to the doctor. We were informed that she had scoliosis and to go and see a specialist. How could this happen? We get her physicals every year, but we didn’t get one the year before. The year we didn’t take her she was suppose to be checked by the school. Somehow she must have slipped through the cracks. We immediately got on the internet to find out as much as we could about it. Most the stuff we read said that she would either have to be in a hard brace if her growth platelets weren’t closed or surgery. After having some x-rays done they said her platelets were closed with a 44 degree curvature. She had finished growing. We set up two separate doctor appointments with specialist (I call them conventional doctors) and they both said nothing would help but surgery. We wouldn’t accept that. We weren’t willing to do surgery on our 14 year old daughter. There had to be other options. Surgery was the absolute last resort. We found Dr.Deutchman & Dr. Lamantia with their flexible brace on the web. I called them and we set up an appointment. All the way across the United States we flew. We got the brace and started the therapy that they gave us. She felt very self-conscious wearing the brace. Like everyone knew but they didn’t. No one could tell. She was the only one that knew she had it on. My daughter was very faithful about wearing her brace 20 hours a day and doing her exercises. It all paid off in the long run! She is now being weaned out of her brace wearing it every other day. She was so excited that she almost cried. Now she can be a regular teenager. Hopefully in three months, she will be out of her brace completely. The conventional doctors said “there’s nothing that can be done but surgery”. Well, we proved them WRONG! Since she started she went from a 44 degree to a 36 degree. That puts her out of the surgery range. They won’t even consider it anymore. Thank you Dr. Duetchman & Dr. Lamantia! We are so grateful and thankful that we found you. I would highly recommend this alternative treatment to anyone for their child or themselves. It could make all the difference in the world to the life of someone you love or your own life.

Three months ago we had such wonderful news about Josie's back. It was stable and not getting worse so the brace was to be worn every other day and the same with exercises. Well, as teenagers go she thought that she was out of the woods. Ya know at that age THEY KNOW everything. I don't know if it from not doing her exercises like she should or her getting a job. Maybe it's a little of both. OR maybe it's just that 3 degree factor of dstanding the wrong way or something. Now she is back to doing exercises everyday and more of them. She was told that the moree she is weaned out of the brace the more exercises she wiolhave to do.Make sure that if your childs is stable and it looks like things are sailing along that they do their exercises! I can't impress on you enough on how important that they are for them to keep doing. Maybe it didn't make a difference but I feel it did. She really sluffed off on them. Stress to your child that it is their life but also it could be the difference between just exercises or surgery.
