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
- Gently correcting spinal alignment
- Encouraging active postural control
- Allowing full range of motion during daily activities
- Supporting muscle function and growth
The SpineCor brace consists of a flexible, adjustable system of elastic bands attached to a lightweight vest. 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
- 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.

- Custom-fitted using adjustable elastic bands for dynamic correction
