Pain in 68 year old

Hello,
My wife, age 68, has had scoliosis for a long time. Would a brace be helpful to her? If so, is there anywhere in Ontario where she could buy a brace; and have you any idea what such braces cost?
Thank you,
Les

Hi Les,
if your wife is having pain, the brace could definitely help. I understand there is someone in Ontario who now fits the brace, but I think you should call Dr. Louise Marcotte in Montreal. She fits the adult brace for Dr. Rivard, the inventor, and is excellent. you could ask if she would recommend the Ontario fitter, otherwise, it might be worth a trip to Montreal for you and your wife..

The brace is around $3,000, but is covered by most insurance plans. Good luck.

  1. Anyone that Scoliosis has entered his or her life needs to read my entire site: WWW.SCOLIOSISPREVENTION.US Tension is the cause of Scoliosis. They need to perform the test listed the Hidden Tension needs to be removed.
