SpineCor® is a new breakthrough treatment for idiopathic scoliosis utilising a dynamic corrective brace, clinical assistant diagnostic software (SAS) and postural measurement equipment (Freepoint). In worldwide clinical use, this new treatment has been shown to be effective in 89% of cases (either by stabilisation or improvement in Cobb angle of the curve).

The SpineCor® treatment approach is completely different to that of traditional 3-point pressure rigid braces; it is the first and only true dynamic bracing system for idiopathic scoliosis. SpineCor®’s unique approach to treatment by global postural re-education has been shown to give progressive correction over time which, unlike any previous brace treatment, is extremely stable post brace weaning. Clinical experience to date also shows better compliance and cosmetic results.

SpineCor® is highly effective in treating early stage of idiopathic scoliosis as demonstrated in our case studies. It also offers significant benefits to patients who discover their condition late. The real challenge is, therefore, to increase the awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and, that a viable early intervention is now available.

The Dynamic Corrective Brace is prescribed for idiopathic scoliosis patients with Cobb angle between 15° and 50° and Risser sign 0 to 3. Its efficacy for treating neuromuscular, neurological or other types of scoliosis is unknown and generally non-idiopathic scoliosis is contraindicated.

The brace is prescribed to be worn by the patients 20 out of 24 hours per day until they have reached maturity, with radiological evaluations performed prior to and immediately following the fitting of the brace, and every 4 to 6 months afterwards.

To accommodate for growth and postural changes, corrective bands need to be adjusted frequently and require replacement each 6-12 months for optimum brace performance. Major brace components can last from 1.5 - 2 years. A patient manual is provided that guides the patient in properly wearing the brace, as well as maintenance. The brace can only be fitted by SpineCor accredited practitioner.
