SPINECOR
The Dynamic Corrective Brace Developed by two orthopaedic surgeons, Dr. Coillard and Dr. Rivard, this is the first brace of its kind! The spineCor scoliosis brace is superior to other traditional braces by its comfort, movement ability while wearing the brace, its light-weight, ease of use (taking on/off), it’s discreetness (not seen under most clothing), and particularly its success (scientifically proven)! In 2007, the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics published the results of the SpineCor bracing protocol on hundreds of children.1,2 The results demonstrated the SpineCor brace to provide correction or stabilization of scoliosis curvatures in the majority (89%) of the patients as well as 93% of the patients remained stable after being weaned off the brace 5 years later! The SpineCor scoliosis brace is superior as compared to two other back braces in preventing patients from progressing to need spinal surgery.3
The SpineCor Scoliosis Brace system consists of two components:
- Anchoring Base Point: This includes spandex-type shorts which hold the velcro connected corrective bands;
- Corrective Component: This includes the bolero and the corrective elastic bands.
Together the two main components have been proven to provide spine and postural correction, while simultaneously providing comfort and discreetness.

The SpineCor System…
The SpineCor system is based on a new etiopathogenic concept created by a team of 65 researchers.
The SpineCor treatment approach targets the four key progression factors of scoliosis:
- Neuromuscular dysfunction
- Growth Asymmetry
- Postural Disorganization
- Spinal Deformity
It is rare to completely reverse a patient’s scoliosis. Using the SpineCor dynamic corrective brace which addresses all 4 of the key progression factors, however, it is possible to minimize or reduce these factors and/or stabilize the scoliosis in up to 93%2 of cases!
How SpineCor Works…
The therapeutic approach of the SpineCor scoliosis brace uses a ‘corrective movement strategy’ to dynamically open the scoliotic curve.
Correction to scoliotic curves can only be done by progressively overcorrecting a patient’s spine and postural deformity. This is exactly what the brace accomplishes as the corrective elastic bands (see above) are configured around the patient to provide a constant ‘pull’ or ‘tension’ on the patient in their unique corrective movement.
Over time, as the patient moves within the brace, the corrective tensions slowly retrain the neuromusculoskeletal system leading to slow and progressive improvements in spinal alignment and posture.
How Do Spinecor Scoliosis Braces Benefit Patients with Scoliosis?
The biggest concern for patients with scoliosis is how to manage scoliosis pain effectively. Initially, when someone is diagnosed with scoliosis, they find it hard to accept the condition. There is a sudden shock, and the person feels triggered with emotional turmoil. There is an invisible battle in the eyes that cannot be described. In a sudden moment, the person starts doubting their body image, lowering their confidence and self-esteem. For them, accepting the reality of the condition becomes hard. However, acceptance is not a choice any longer, and what becomes important is to approach the scoliosis specialists for the corrective treatment
To treat scoliosis, there are two broad methods: one is treatment without surgery, and the other is treatment with surgery. Patients diagnosed with mild to moderate scoliosis have the option to improve their condition with the support of non-surgical treatment options, which include intensive care, physical therapy, and the use of braces. Whether you have heard about this before or not, you must know that the Spinecor scoliosis brace is one of the most effective and tested methods to manage scoliosis.

When you have scoliosis, there are some visible changes in your body. Your shoulders and hip height become uneven, the waistline is asymmetric, and one shoulder blade appears more out than another. These changes in the body posture affect the confidence and make it difficult to move out comfortably. That’s when the Scoliosis brace comes to your rescue. When you continuously wear a brace, you get to witness improvements in your posture. But you must know it’s a slow process and it demands patience and consistency.
