Why Scoliosis 3DC® for Bracing?

When you or your child become our patient, you become part of the Scoliosis 3DC® family. We are here to guide you every step of the way, well beyond your initial visit!

As a parent of a child with scoliosis, Dr. Moramarco understands what it’s like. After diagnosing his own daughter in 2001, he made it his mission to find the best non-surgical treatment for her. This ultimately led him to becoming the first US practitioner trained at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Clinic in Germany.

Fast forward to today: Dr. Moramarco is a leading Schroth method and Cheneau bracing expert, having traveled to Germany numerous times for extensive training over the years. There is a distinct advantage in having a Schroth expert fit the brace because of the in-depth knowledge of scoliotic body mechanics. Dr. Moramarco is also an international lecturer and author on the non-surgical treatment of scoliosis.

At Scoliosis 3DC®, we have been been treating scoliosis non-surgically on a full-time basis for many years. Many of our team members either have scoliosis or have family members with scoliosis. You won’t find a more experienced, dedicated, and up-to-date team of caring individuals to help you through your scoliosis journey!

We have:

  • America’s most experienced & knowledgeable Schroth Method practitioners.
  • Cheneau bracing and Schroth exercise available at one location. Our one-stop-shop reduces burnout for patients and parents.
  • A 4-day bracing turnaround (from scan to final fitting).
  • A clinical team who works together to help you properly manage scoliosis.
  • A safe, comfortable setting where kids are open to learning and accepting their new normal – not a sterile, intimidating environment. We know that having scoliosis and wearing a brace can be stressful, so we work to alleviate any apprehensions.
  • A friendly, optimistic, supportive staff who are all passionate about conservative treatment for scoliosis.
  • A clear-cut management plan with guidance and feedback every step of the way.

After bracing a patient who switched from the Boston Brace to the Cheneau-Gensingen Brace, Dr. Marc asked;

“How is this brace different?”

Our patient quickly and candidly replied,

“This one feels like it’s doing something!”

After one patient’s first fitting in her Cheneau-Gensingen Brace, her ecstatic mom told us,

“She wore the brace for fourteen hours last night but couldn’t wear the Boston Brace for that long after two weeks.”
