Objective: To report on the use of the Spinecor system dynamic brace on a patient with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Clinical Features: A 10-year-old girl presented with a right thoracic type one Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis measuring 36 degrees. Intervention and Outcome: Specific corrective movement was implemented utilizing the dynamic Spinecor bracing system to address Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Elastic straps were positioned specifically to correct the rotational and…

Is early treatment for mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis superior over the traditional ‘watch & wait’ approach? A case report with long-term follow-up

TLDR
This case illustrates an ideal outcome and supports the argument that initiating treatment at the earliest indication of suspected idiopathic scoliosis should offer superior outcomes versus the traditional ‘watch & wait’ approach.

Brace Management in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
TLDR
The natural history of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is reviewed, the risks for curve progression are identified, the types of braces available for treatment are described, and the indications for and efficacy of brace treatment are reviewed.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated by spinal manipulation: a case study.
TLDR
Chiropractic treatment was associated with a reduction in the degree of curvature of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in this case, after half a year of conventional medical treatment had failed to stop curve progression, suggesting that in at least some severe and progressive cases of scoliotics, chiropractor treatment including spinal manipulation may decrease the need for surgery.

Integrative Treatment Using Chiropractic and Conventional Techniques for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Outcomes in Four Patients
TLDR
The combined use of Boston bracing and a conservative manual therapy system for larger magnitude scoliosis is reported on.
Conservative treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: can it reduce the incidence of surgical treatment?
TLDR
The fact that curvature magnitude was maintained at <35° means that patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will have a good prognosis for avoiding dramatic progression during adulthood.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis – to operate or not? A debate article
TLDR
The authors were invited to debate the opposite positions of "pro" versus "contra" surgical treatment of AIS, based on the currently available evidence and published guidelines.
Scoliosis treatment using spinal manipulation and the Pettibon Weighting System™: a summary of 3 atypical presentations
TLDR
Although mild to moderate reductions in Cobb angle measurements were achieved in 3 specific cases of scoliosis, these improvements may not be related to the symptomatic and functional improvements.
Effectiveness of the SpineCor Brace Based on the New Standardized Criteria Proposed by the Scoliosis Research Society for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
TLDR
The SpineCor brace is effective for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and positive outcomes are maintained after 2 years because 45 of 47 patients stabilized or corrected their end of bracing Cobb angle up to 2 years after bracing.
Chiropractic manipulation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: a pilot study
TLDR
This pilot study showed the viability for a larger randomized trial and confirms the strength of existing protocols with amendments for use in a full randomized controlled trial.
SpineCor – a non-rigid brace for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis: post-treatment results
TLDR
This initial cohort of patients demonstrated a general trend of initial decrease in spinal curvature in brace, followed by a correction and/or stabilisation at the end of treatment, which was maintained through 1, and 2 years’ follow-up.
