SpineCor Bracing in Tarlac

SpineCor is a dynamic bracing system designed to treat scoliosis and other spinal deformities without restricting movement. At Tarlac Medical Center, we provide personalized SpineCor fitting and follow-up care to help patients achieve spinal correction while maintaining comfort and mobility.

Unlike traditional rigid braces, SpineCor uses elastic bands and dynamic correction principles to guide spinal growth and reduce curve progression, making it suitable for growing adolescents and adults with mild to moderate scoliosis.

How SpineCor Works

The SpineCor brace consists of a flexible, adjustable system of elastic bands attached to a lightweight vest. The brace works by:

• Gently correcting spinal alignment
  • Encouraging active postural control
  • Allowing full range of motion during daily activities
  • Supporting muscle function and growth

The dynamic nature of the brace helps patients maintain normal movement patterns while continuously applying corrective forces to the spine. Regular follow-ups ensure the brace is adjusted as the spine changes over time.

Conditions Treated

SpineCor bracing is primarily indicated for:

• Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
  • Mild to moderate spinal curves in growing children
  • Early postural abnormalities
  • Scoliosis requiring conservative management before surgery

Early intervention with SpineCor increases the likelihood of preventing curve progression and reducing the need for surgical correction.

Fitting and Usage

Fitting a SpineCor brace is a personalized process:

1. A full clinical and radiological evaluation determines spinal curvature and brace suitability.
   
   
2. The brace is custom-fitted using adjustable elastic bands to provide dynamic correction.
   
   
3. Patients are instructed on proper wearing schedule, typically 20–23 hours per day.
   
   
4. Regular follow-ups allow adjustment for growth and improved spinal alignment.
   
   

The brace is lightweight and comfortable, allowing patients to participate in school, sports, and daily activities with minimal interference.

Benefits of SpineCor

SpineCor offers multiple advantages compared to rigid braces:

• Dynamic correction of spinal curves
  • Improved comfort and mobility
  • Non-restrictive design for daily activity
  • Reduced risk of muscle atrophy
  • Suitable for long-term wear during growth
  • Decreased need for surgery if started early

Patients and families appreciate the combination of effectiveness and comfort, which encourages compliance and consistent use.
