SpineCor Brace
Dr. Paul Oakley was among the first in the Greater Toronto Area to be Certified by The Spine
Corporation Ltd. in 2008. SpineCor is the first dynamic and corrective brace for the treatment of
scoliosis, or lateral curvature of the spine. Originally used to treat idiopathic juvenile scoliosis, today
it is used to treat adults as well as children. The SpineCor corrective brace is a proven method to
treat scoliosis. In children, the SpineCor brace has been proven to correct scoliotic deformities, and
prevent many patients from needing spinal fusion surgery. In adults the Spine Cor brace can provide
relief from chronic aches and back pains, and can also provide spinal correction or improvement in
spinal alignment. SpineCor was originally invented in Montreal, Canada, by two orthopedic
surgeons, Dr. Christine Coillard and Dr. Charles Rivard. The corrective brace is now used around
the world to treat idiopathic scoliosis. SpineCor was also featured in Maclean's magazine...
ScoliBrace
Dr. Oakley is the first to be certified in the ScoliBrace, the super-corrective rigid brace in Ontario. This is
the first rigid brace to target an 'over-correction' in a scoliosis patient in order to invert, reverse or put
the patient into a 'mirror-image' of their original deformity. Developed by Dr. Jeb McAviney from
Australia and former SpineCor employee, this is what rigid bracing has been waiting for! Initial results
from ScoliBracing are incredible. Several case reports have been published and clinical trials are being
conducted. The ScoliBrace is expected to become the new rigid brace standard for moderate and
especially severe scoliotic curves.
