Case 3 – 14 year old Female, treated 3 months with Intensive Rehabilitation as well as Spinecor Brace wearing
62 ° Initial 49 ° Out of brace
SpineCor – a non-rigid brace for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis: post-treatment results (Euro Spine 2004)
At 2 years follow-up there was an overall correction of greater than 5° for 55% of the patients, 38% had a stabilization and 7% had worsened by more than 5°. This initial cohort of patients demonstrated a general trend of initial decrease in spinal curvature in brace, followed by a correction and/or stabilization at the end of treatment, which was maintained through 1, and 2 years’ follow-up.

Whole Body Vibration Exercise
Although still considered investigational for the use in the treatment of scoliosis, research shows whole body vibration increases the effectiveness of exercise programs. For this reason, we may recommend specific exercises be performed in conjuntion with whole body vibration.
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a relatively new method of increasing muscle spindle activation during exercise. It has been shown to be helpful in bone remodeling as well as improving exercise efficiency.
Scoliosis Systems utilizes exercise programs as part of a complete management program lasting over an 18-24 month period. WBV can be utilized to retrain muscle recruitment patterns, influence bone remodeling, and improve the parietal brain somatotopic representation of body position in space.
Patient recommendations are made on an individual basis and may not include physiotherapy or muscle re-education procedures described on this website.
