X-rays show patient progress and potential for correction

• Scoliosis management for adults and children may include the use of Spinecor; a spinal orthosis (corrective brace) designed to help retrain muscle recruitment patterns while comfortably reducing the Scoliosis. Adult management is still investigational, however, early results are promising.

• Retrospective Study of 23 adults treated with Spinecor authored by Dr. Deutchman and Dr. Lamantia

• Other spinal deformities which may respond to treatment include: Kyphosis, Kyphoscoliosis, Functional Scoliosis, Postural fatigue, Infantile Scoliosis and Scoliosis as a consequence of neurological complications.

Our Patients Speak

"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 S. (Adult)
 

*** 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. (Adult)

***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 (Adult)

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,
