I don't think that it is right that you bad mouth parents to their kids. It is a hard enough task to deal w/ childhood issues w/out you saying we are liars. You do not know what is best for...

I never lied to my daughter about bracing. I told her that it may or may not work. I told her it would be expensive and we would have to sacrifice alot. I told her there is still a strong possibility...

Hello everyone
I also believe my daughter is a success story. We started using Spinecor to buy us time. I don't know what the future will bring she may still need surgery but we now have time. She...

Excellent news Jill


We also had an out of brace in Oct 09. 11*, did the same, did not bother w/ an in brace at that time. Yes we still have a long road ahead but the little victorys keep us...

Congrats Dingo

Hi Emarismom

Good luck w/ the x ray. It is very nerve wracking. Thanks for the pep talk. We are doing the best we can. It must be hard facing "dreaded puberty" with or w/ out scoliosis. :eek:

My Goodness Chris you are also having excellent results!! My daughter is 9 now. We still have a long road ahead. Sometimes I feel like it will be forever till we are out of the woods but it will all...

Just for the record, Dr Rivard did not argue about the out of brace x ray. He did indicate that it was not necessary. I understand his reasoning and in hindsight feel that the x ray was unnecessary....

Great Idea, I will look into that.

BTW I am trying to look at the big picture, I know that because my daughter had such a large curve at such a young age that her progression will most...

I just checked Air Canada, approx $1500.00 for 2 people round trip. Am I missing something????

We are back from out appt. Out of brace X ray was 11* not bad but I was secretly hoping for another 1* reading. I was hoping she could come out of brace for a year. Gotta tell you all that this...

My daughter is still growing, she will most likely need to wear the brace through puberty. We will find out in a couple days. As for the pump I am not sure. The brace has straps, you may be able to...

That is just awesome. You are almost there!!! December is not that far away. I would assume there will be a weaning period.

Dingo

I think you are right, The family needs to get the blood tests in the research phase of the test. I would assume once on the market that will not be the case. However I think (could be...

Thanks Dingo

I sometimes wonder if my daughters curve could have corrected itself however I always come back to the thought that her curve went from 33* to an inbrace reading of 11* the same day....

excellent news Mom 15. How much more bracing time does your daughter have?

My daughter is having a out of brace x ry mid October. I am excited to see the results of that picture!

My daughter saw the Orthotist at one of our Orthopedic docs yesterday. She is very impressed with the Spinecor and has started to use it. We see her so she can follow my daughters case.
