Non-invasive Treatment Options for Your Child Doctors have used scoliosis braces for over 450 years and surgery for over 150 years. Neither treatment stops scoliosis progression and both cause pain and serious complications. Bracing can make the spine straighter while your child wears it, but it weakens the muscles so much that curves quickly worsen …
The Best Opportunity for Spinal Correction No one knows exactly why this coil down effect happens, but it appears to be connected to adverse mechanical tension on the central nervous system, the brain and the spinal cord. The opportunity for spinal correction is much greater before this crankshaft phenomenon of rotation and torque starts because …
Another serious issue with scoliosis bracing is that bones cannot grow properly without intermittent pressure. The theory behind bracing is that it will open the inside of the curve (the concavity) by removing pressure and encouraging growth on the concave side of the curve (the convexity). But you need intermittent pressure on bones to stimulate …

The chemicals your brain uses to talk with the rest of your body are called neurotransmitters. We test neurotransmitters for imbalances that contribute to the development or progression of idiopathic scoliosis. Imbalances can be corrected with supplements and dietary changes. Normal neurotransmitter levels help your child benefit from ScoliSMART™ exercises. If a scoliosis brace has …
ScoliScore is a genetic test for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). It uses DNA markers to predict the probability that scoliosis curvature will progress. The test results help us determine the best treatment options for each child.
Most cases of scoliosis are idiopathic, meaning they have no known cause. Yet the progression of scoliosis is caused by a miscommunication between the brain and the muscles. The brain doesn’t realize that your child’s posture is out of alignment, so it doesn’t send the messages telling the muscles to correct the spinal curvature. ScoliSMART™ …
