We are really proud of the work we do at S3DC and especially encouraged to have had Dr. Marc invited to present on idiopathic scoliosis and pulmonary function at a workshop at the American Thoracic Society International Conference 2015 in Denver this past Monday. The invitation is a testament to the inroads he’s helped forge… Read More
This sad announcement comes with permission from our dear friend Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss: Frau Christa, as we knew her, lived a simple, yet impactful life in the beautiful German countryside she loved. She grew up, the daughter of Katharina Schroth, helping those with scoliosis from her childhood years until just days before her death. She… Read More
What is progressive scoliosis? Progressive scoliosis is a spinal curvature that increases more than 5º in Cobb angle within 6 months as measured on the AP/PA view of a full spine x-ray. There is no foolproof way for physicians to determine whether scoliosis will get worse after a diagnosis, predict whose scoliosis will be progressive and… Read More
Scoliosis and x-rays go hand and hand but parents, and even some kids, have concerns about x-ray frequency to monitor spinal changes during growth. We understand the concerns about scoliosis and x-rays and figured it is about time to address them. X-ray evaluation is a necessary part of monitoring scoliosis. X-rays allow physicians to measure Cobb… Read More
Does Schroth Work? S.R. – 12/9/13 Final Project, ICSM When I was fourteen years old, I was diagnosed with a “moderate” case of Idiopathic Scoliosis. The path I was about to venture on would open my eyes to the variations in the level and manner of care provided by doctors. My experience took me from the… Read More
Scoliosis Brace for Adults We’re a bit obsessed with helping people halt scoliosis progression and improve their lives with non-surgical scoliosis treatments. I hesitate to write about our family’s own scoliosis experiences again, but our personal journey has led us to where we are today. Now, we are taking another interesting step by introducing the Cheneau-Gensingen… Read More
Our website alludes to the early obstacles we encountered when our daughter was first diagnosed with scoliosis. We took her, immediately, to a group of prominent orthopedic surgeons at a highly regarded Boston hospital. They recommended the SpineCor brace from Ste. Justine’s hospital in Canada – the subject of a recent exposé in Canada. The Spinecor brace… Read More
We had a recent inquiry about the commonly accepted threshold of 45º – 50º for scoliosis surgery and our thoughts on the subject. It’s a topic we could discuss at length, but here’s a basic answer and some additional information to contemplate. From what we can ascertain, the 45º – 50º Cobb angle is an arbitrary number surgeons… Read More
Dr. Marc’s recent German and Russia adventure began in Germany with Dr. Weiss. The two spent two days assessing and fitting patients for the Chêneau – Gensingen brace.

Our letter to the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer regarding their recent article on the Schroth Method: It is great to see the Schroth Method getting media attention. As a parent who traveled to Germany in 2002 to learn Schroth to help my own child and as a dedicated Schroth method practitioner, my focus at… Read More
“Working with Dr. Marc was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with a doctor. I love going there, and doing Schroth improved my scoliosis from 25 degrees in August 2011, to 17 degrees in November the same year. Who can argue with that?” Read More
Best decision ever! After much research, we decided that traveling 1000 km to Scoliosis 3DC® and paying out of pocket for a Gensingen Brace would give our 9 year old the best chance at stopping progression of her scoliosis. Dr. Marc, Amy, Maja and all the staff are so compassionate and spent several hours over… Read More
