Michelle (my daughter), a freshman at a local high school, has been treated by Dr. Mathew Schwab DC for scoliosis during the last six months. Prior to being treated by Dr. Schwab, Michelle’s scoliosis was having a negative impact on her life. She had difficulty standing in one place and was in constant pain from shin splints. Also Michelle could not rotate her left shoulder fully. Michelle is very active in outdoor sports like biking and horse back riding. The condition prevented her from fully participating in these activities. She couldn’t even rotate her left shoulder properly to swim. Michelle also had constant headaches from the scoliosis. In short she was mighty miserable.

After Dr Schwab diagnosed Michelle’s scoliosis, he developed a treatment plan for her. In addition to strengthening exercises at home, adjustments and physical therapy at the office, Dr Schwab fitted Michelle with a Spine-Cor soft brace. Since Michelle began wearing the Spine-Cor soft brace, she has experienced a remarkable improvement. Michelle’s headaches are gone and her shin splints are improving. She has much better range of motion in her shoulder. She is able to perform the farm chores for the horses she rides much more effectively. Michelle has also taken up some new sports like kayaking and rock climbing. Something she would not have been able to do with out the improved shoulder motion.

Michelle also finds the Spine-Cor brace to be compatible with being a teen. The brace is not bulky and can be worn underneath most teen acceptable clothes. In fact, most of her friends don’t even know she is wearing the brace. Michelle is well on the road to a normal life & relatively pain free, thanks to the treatment plan developed by Dr. Schwab.
