Just wanted to say a GREAT big thank you to you. Without you, I know we would not be experiencing such a positive outcome so early in the game. Cait's back continues to improve and looks amazing when she is doing her exercises. The atrophied right lumbar area is waking up with new muscles forming that never existed before and the bulging contracted left lumbar muscles continue to loosen up. We attribute this to the Schroth physical therapy and prescribed exercises, her radical diet change and

supplementation plus the RSC brace all working together. We are so thankful. It just makes me mad and sad that we wasted 13 months of time and energy on the !!!!!!!!! brace. What a difference with the RSC brace. There is absolutely no comparison. The clinical results are proof of that.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

"My daughter is 13 years old and we have been battling the progression of her scoliosis since she was eight.  We have tired chiropractor work, acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, traction, message, energy work, weights, vibration therapy, the Spinecor brace, visual vestibular therapy, nutritional therapy, homeopathy, plus various exercise programs with no results.  In addition, we also have been through a few doctors who were spine specialists that have told us over the years just to wait until my daughter's curves in her spine gets worse so they can do surgery.  Surgery is not an option in my mind for a child this age and a degree of curve that I feel can be managed giving the right treatment plan.  After nights of research, prayer, and asking advice from parents around the nation, I decided our best option at this time would be to try the Rigo System Cheneau brace (RSC brace).
 
I was lead to try the brace maker, Grant Wood. since he had extensive experience in this type of brace and had a solid reputation among his peers and patients.  From the moment we walked into his office we knew God had placed us in good hands.  Grant and his staff gave us undivided attention.  We found Grant to be compassionate, caring and giving.   He is a master at his craft and is not afraid to ask others in his field for information, or get the latest research on how he can make brace fittings better for optimal results.  Grant Wood aims to please and his passion about his work is to be admired.  Grant fitted my daughter with the RIGO Brace (RSC brace) in April of 2009, and a month later her degree of curve decreased both in her thoracic and lumber regions.   We noticed her shoulders are now even and her head sits evenly on top of her shoulders.  Her sway back has decreased; she has no pain, and feels she can run better.

My daughter got use to wearing this brace in less than ten days and wears it 23 hours a day without a complaint. She is very comfortable with it on, and has had no difficulty finding stylish outfits to wear over it. Cosmetically her body looks better out of this brace so we know positive changes are being made with her body's structure.  We are almost at a loss for words describing how we feel finding Grant and this RSC brace.  We are in a state of disbelief that something is actually working in a very short amount of time after all these years of bad news and disappointments.

We look forward to our future visits with Grant Wood and his wonderful staff and pray that his healing hands that made this wonderful brace will continue to help our daughter.

Our experience with Mr.Grant Wood was like finding a rescue boat while lost at sea. Our daughter was in need of A new brace. After much research, we found the RSC brace (cheneau brace). Mr. Grant came highly recommended by our PT. After speaking with him by phone we were a little discouraged to find our insurance wouldn't cover it 100%. Still, we were determined to get the RSC brace. I spoke with the PT  and she suggested I speak to Mr Grant again. I emailed him and asked to set up an appointment. He worked with us to get an appointment set up very quickly even though his schedule was already full. We told him that we started an online  fund raiser for the brace. He was committed to helping us as much as he could to  get the brace! He worked with us every step of the way to make it happen! Three cheers for Grant...yeah ....horay.....clap clap clap.....load whistle from the crowd ....and a standing ovation!!  He is wonderful, kind and compassionate. He was very patient and concerned, a true gem. We are deeply touched by his remarkable nature. Thank you Grant!

My son, age 15, recently received the Rigo-Cheneau brace.  Since we were from out of town, Grant Wood and his team made every effort to accommodate our schedule so that we were able to leave the same day.  This was a completely new experience for us and we had so many questions.  We truly appreciated their kindness, patience and attention to detail. To our surprise, the brace is light weight and low profile.  My son is adjusting to wearing the brace beautifully.

We feel so lucky and blessed. Finally we found someone here in the United States who can help with an alternative treatment for scoliosis. Your adjustments of Kristina's brace that became loose since she grew up an inch made a big difference, and she wears it again for 23 hours a day. Your team was so supportive and kind to us. We are so grateful to Jim, Nicole Julie and Robert. God bless you all and thanks again.
