The Spine Cor Brace is a flexible back brace used for treatment for scoliosis in both adults and children. In fact, this is the only scoliosis brace that has been proven to help adults suffering from scoliosis reduce the curvature of their spine. Many people may be wondering what makes this scoliosis brace effective as opposed to the traditional, hard shell braces.

This dynamic, type of a brace consists of static components connected by adjustable elastic bands. These elastic bands can be adjusted to fit perfectly around the patient’s body. Because the brace is flexible, it is far easier to endure than the traditional type of a brace and can be worn up to twenty hours in a day. The brace is also much thinner and can easily and comfortably concealed underneath a patient’s clothing.

Because this brace is flexible, it is highly beneficial to the patient wearing it. The elastic bands apply dynamic force to the patient’s body and work to constantly correct the curvature of the spine while the patient moves. It is crucial that a scoliosis brace not restrict the movement of the patient completely.

By allowing the patient a degree of free movement, this flexible brace has one very important advantage over the traditional static braces that immobilized the patient’s torso. As a result, the patient was unable to move and the spinal muscles would atrophy. This weakness of spinal muscles works against the corrective movements and can make the scoliosis worse.

The flexible brace, on the other hand, allows the patient freedom of movement. As such, the patient is free to engage in many day to day activities, and even play sports. This added movement strengthens the muscles while still providing the spine with the proper kind of pressure that will push it to correct itself. Wearing this type of a flexible brace is a lot like being in physical therapy for the entirety of the day.

There is another very important benefit to employing the flexible brace. Due to how difficult to endure the traditional bracing procedure was, doctors frequently delayed the fitting of the brace until the curvature of the spine reached a point beyond twenty five degrees. However, with the flexible brace, the doctors can have the patient start wearing it much earlier.

There are many physical benefits to wearing a flexible back brace, but one of the most important side benefits is social. Children, frequently teenagers, wearing the hard brace would be prevented from many social activities. The flexible brace can be concealed by clothing, allowing the child to socialize as normal. This small benefit can have far reaching consequences in the future.

With SpineCor there is no reason for scoliosis to degrade a person’s quality of life. Surgery is not the only option, nor are hard plastic shell braces which make movement impossible. The Spine Cor Brace is designed to help the patient by training the body to correct the curvature in a natural, gentle process.
