There is no good evidence it allows growing kids to avoid surgery. There is a reason most surgeons don't use Spinecor. A very good reason.
For adults, there is evidence it helps some people with pain but the muscles atrophy in the brace. So when they stop wearing it that have weaker muscles and may collapse.
For adults there is no evidence it corrects or even halts progression. That is why it is sold for pain only to adults.
