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 daughter in 2001, he made it his mission to find the best non-surgical treatment for her. This ultimately led him to become the first US practitioner trained in the Schroth Method at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Clinic in Germany.
Fast forward to today: Dr. Moramarco is a leading Schroth method and Chêneau bracing expert, having traveled to Germany numerous times for extensive training over the years and having fit Chêneau braces on patients in his clinic for the past ten years. There is a distinct advantage to having a Schroth expert create and fit yours or your child’s scoliosis brace. A well-designed brace takes into account the patient’s curve pattern, body mechanics, and flexibility. This hands-on information provides the insights needed to judge how the patient’s scoliotic body will respond to bracing when working in CAD/CAM to create the best scoliosis brace possible for the individual patient.
At Scoliosis 3DC®, we have 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 knowledgeable team of caring individuals to help you/your child through your scoliosis journey!
Dr. Moramarco is also an international lecturer, author on the non-surgical treatment of scoliosis and lead editor of Schroth’s Textbook of Scoliosis and Other Spinal Deformities.

After bracing a patient who switched from the Boston Brace to a Chêneau 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 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.”
