This patient was diagnosed with juvenile scoliosis at nine-years-old. When she came to Scoliosis 3DC®, just before she turned 10, she was at high risk of progression. She had a Boston Brace but was finding it very difficult to tolerate.
She participated in our Schroth program to start. Within seven months, her double major scoliosis had reduced by 3º and 11º. Encouraged by that result her mom and dad decided it was time to change her braces to a Schroth compatible brace design. Dr. Marc fit her in the first of her three braces with us when she was ten and a half years old. By fourteen years-old, she had grown almost 7.5” taller than when we first saw her. Despite multiple growth spurts over the years, she not only avoided continued progression but she achieved an amazing result and improved her scoliosis significantly. The x-ray here shows a spine that looks pretty straight to us–a case of juvenile scoliosis cured! Interestingly, she checked in with Dr. Marc recently, now an adult, her spine remains straight.
