The belt prevents the growth of the spine towards the curvature and allows it to grow in the other direction, this process leads to an immediate and clear improvement in the curvature of the spine and also prevents the curvature from increasing in the future, this led to dispose of the worse alternatives including greater surgical intervention such as stabilizing the spine with metal columns disturbing growth and impeding patient movement.

How important is teamwork during treatment?

Cooperation and joint effort are the second factor for scoliosis treatment success after early diagnosis. The joint effort includes coordination between the patient's family, the surgeon, the physical therapist, the psychotherapist, the training team and their ability to work under one roof in an atmosphere of fruitful cooperation.
