Before all of you scoliosis brace treatment and spine cor bracefans go jumping down my throat......I realize that this is just one case, but it is a cause for some consideration and concern.

I recently treated a patient in my office who began spine cor bracing when his curvature was 32 degrees and approximately 2 years later the spinal curvature was 62 degrees. They stopped using the brace in mid Oct and I evaluated the patient in mid December (2 months with no scoliosis brace)....the spinal curve now measured 83 degrees. That is a 21 degree increase in the 2 months since he stopped using the brace.

In addition, I had a colleague who is well trained in spine cor check the scoliosis brace and he said it was fitted properly.

I know may orthopedic scoliosis specialist recommend weening a patient out of a rigid brace, but I was under the impression that wasn't necessary with spine cor, because it didn't cause brace dependency. 

However, it obviously does to some capacity.
