"My
daughter Natalie (Teen) is a very enthusiastic
Ballet Dancer. The Spinecor brace was a
wonderful discovery that has allowed
Natalie to continue her four hour a day
dance classes. The guidance provided by
the Scoliosis Systems (TM) program with its
vestibular testing created a reduction
and stabilization in my daughters
curve"- Roxana D.
***I really feel a great improvement. I
took my
brace off to swim laps last week and
couldn't believe how great I felt. (I've
been in great pain for over 15
years!) I am coming in for my
re-evaluation on August 10th and hope to
bring my daughter (10 years old) so you
can check her. spine as well. Pam

*** I
have been in treatment with SCOLIOSIS
SYSTEMS starting in November of the
year 2005. This treatment has worked for
me because my curvatures have decreased.
This brace is very different from the
one I had to wear before because it can
be worn with clothes and you could
hardly tell you’re wearing it. The other
brace was hard but this one isn’t. I’m
still in treatment with Dr. Deutchman.
I’m glad that I could find a treatment
that really works for me and for other
people like me. -Heidy R. (Teen)
***FYI:
I took my first pilates class since
getting my brace. I did the class with
my brace on and my teacher was "amazed"
at how differently my body moved. I had a massage from someone who I go
to about every 5 weeks. He said my neck
on the right was not as knotted as usual
and he swears the curve in my neck is
not as pronounced. A friend standing
behind me at the dance barre the other
night observed the same thing.
I know I won't get instant results but
it is so encouraging to get this
positive feedback. I am hoping that
because I have kept my muscles so
flexible due to dance that the changes
will continue and my body will be able
to hold these changes.
Thank you for making changes in what
every doctor told me was a lost
cause. -Carol B. (Adult) ***Reprinted
from the Michigan Polio Network News
report...I flew to New York for an
extensive assessment of my scoliosis.
I was fitted with their brace and in 12
hours it began to reduce my scoliosis as
evidenced by x-rays before and after.
I wear the brace about (12) hours a day,
and I have been pain free when I do so.
The people in the New York Office were
extremely warm individuals.- Susan B.

***Dear Dr. Deutchman; I am very pleased
with the SpineCor brace that I started
wearing Nov 2004. I have hardly
any back pain and as you know, there has
been some improvement in the curve.
It took a while but I got used to it and
I appreciate the support it gives my
back. A couple of people have told me
that I look straighter now. I feel
fortunate to have the opportunity to use
the SpineCor brace. The Orthopedic
doctors said there was no therapy for my
case of scoliosis an I could only hope
that it would not get much worse. In
which case, the only possible treatment
would be surgery. Thanks for being
there with an alternative. -Susan R

Josie's Story Just a
little over 2 years ago I had to take my
daughters measurements. We had our
suspicions and knew something just
wasn’t right so we took her to the
doctor. We were informed that she had
scoliosis and to go and see a
specialist. How could this happen? We
get her physicals every year, but we
didn’t get one the year before. The year
we didn’t take her she was suppose to be
checked by the school. Somehow she must
have slipped through the cracks. We
immediately got on the internet to find
out as much as we could about it. Most
the stuff we read said that she would
either have to be in a hard brace if her
growth platelets weren’t closed or
surgery. After having some x-rays done
they said her platelets were closed with
a 44 degree curvature. She had finished
growing. We set up two separate doctor
appointments with specialist (I call
them conventional doctors) and they both
said nothing would help but surgery. We
wouldn’t accept that. We weren’t willing
to do surgery on our 14 year old
daughter. There had to be other options.
Surgery was the absolute last resort. We
found Dr.Deutchman & Dr. Lamantia with
their flexible brace on the web. I
called them and we set up an
appointment. All the way across the
United States we flew. We got the brace
and started the therapy that they gave
us. She felt very self-conscious wearing
the brace. Like everyone knew but they
didn’t. No one could tell. She was the
only one that knew she had it on. My
daughter was very faithful about wearing
her brace 20 hours a day and doing her
exercises. It all paid off in the long
run! She is now being weaned out of her
brace wearing it every other day. She
was so excited that she almost cried.
Now she can be a regular teenager.
Hopefully in three months, she will be
out of her brace completely. The
conventional doctors said “there’s
nothing that can be done but surgery”.
Well, we proved them WRONG! Since she
started she went from a 44 degree to a
36 degree. That puts her out of the
surgery range. They won’t even consider
it anymore. Thank you Dr. Duetchman &
Dr. Lamantia! We are so grateful and
thankful that we found you. I would
highly recommend this alternative
treatment to anyone for their child or
themselves. It could make all the
difference in the world to the life of
someone you love or your own life.
Sincerely,
