Let us first see what this scoliosis is. Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine, which is normally, in most normal human beings, is in a straight shape. Is it really widespread? yes it is. Scoliosis affects approximately 12 million or more people worldwide. What will happen if it is left untreated? If it is left untreated, this can worsen and cause a host of troubles : deformity might happen, respiratory problems might arise along with the cardiac problems and problems such as digestive troubles and pain. What causes it ? A majority of the sufferers are young people in the age of 12 to 16 years. This can continue into older age also. However, if it is monitored properly and given proer treatment, it is entirely possible to cure this.

There are good treatments nowadays that provide relief and cure from this debilitating condition. We now have special scoliosis surgery, specific scoliosis exercises, and adult scoliosis treatment which all make it possible to treat this.

Every year, a number of patients undergo this scoliosis surgery which enables them to stand upright.

There are patients who have been fitted with the finecor braces. The SpineCor brace is a new way of treating scoliosis. In the past braces used rigid structures to physically apply pressure by which the spine was forced back into a more normal position. The SpineCor brace is completely different. It is not rigid and does not force the spine to move. The old style rigid braces only target spinal deformation, with the result being when the rigid braces are removed, there is every chance that the spine will go back to its original state of deformity. However, with the SpineCor brace the results are maintained. This is measured in 97% of the cases. This is far better result compared to the rigid braces.
