Is there any information out there on the SpineCor Pain Relief Brace? It seems like a great alternative to the regular Spinecor brace that I have. I am a 59 year old woman with idiopathic scoliosis.I...

Dear Spring72,
Good luck with your surgery.
I was wondering about other health issues often found in people with scoliosis. Have you heard of any link between scoliosis and colitis? It is possible...

Dear Allegra,
It was nice to hear a few kind words after the lashing I took for venting about the brace. I thought a forum was meant for venting. I guess I was wrong. How do you find wearing the...

I apoligize for my insensitive complaining about the brace. I should have kept it to myself considering all those out there who have it MUCH WORSE than I do. I guess I need a mother to complain to....

Dear jillw,
I never thought of the spinecor brace as a tush lifter. I'll be honest with you. My clothes don't look too great over the brace. Call me vain. But the snaps and straps show up a lot. I'm...

I'm a 55 year-old woman with untreated AIS. I just got my Spinecor Brace today from Dr.Louise Marcotte in Montreal. I feel pretty good. I have never felt staighter. I recommend it . Of course, today...

Thank-you for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi. I am on a waiting list for an adult scoliosis specialist in Montreal. Unfortunately the only orthopedic surgeon treating adults also treats children. As a result, he can only see adults one day...

Is there a long wait to see a specialist to get fitted for a SpineCor brace in Montreal? Can a rheumatologist prescribe one? Does it have to be a scoliosis specialist?

Hi.
Have you heard if Spinecor can be used for aults with scoliosis? I was first diagnosed w/ 45 degree curvature at 19 yrs. which was too late for a brace. The surgeon took a wait-and-see approach...
