What if Scoliosis Wasn’t Just a Curvature of the Spine?
SpineCor is a “Brace” Reimagined. Now that we know Scoliosis has more to do with the brain than it does the back, we use Spinecor as a Constraint Induced Movement therapy to target the brain’s control of posture and movement.
Rigid Bracing has come a long way. We recommend this type of bracing mostly in the immature and growing spine for night time use only. Why? because it’s most useful when you’re growing, at night! And, we don’t want to deprive the brain of stimulation during the “Movement Hours”.
Scoli-Fit was born out of the Question, “what if we’re thinking about scoliosis all wrong? What if scoliosis was a brain-based movement disorder? If it were, then a brain-based exercise and therapy regiment would be absolutely necessary for successful outcomes.

Patient Testimonial
Hear what our patients have to say. We’ve successfully managed thousands of scoliotic patient cases over 35 years. Here’s what some of them had to say.
Scoliosis Systems has been life changing. I have a 33 digress "S-curve" scoliosis and have suffered from chronic pain... for many years. As my daily pain got increasingly worse, I knew I couldn't keep attempting to manage it on my own. Since the first day I got my brace I have not experienced the excruciating nerve pain down my hip and leg that was a result of bulging discs in my low back. My balance and posture are better even when I am not wearing my brace. Not being in constant pain all day long has improved my mood, sleep and general well-being. I highly recommend Scoliosis Systems. The entire process from scheduling initial consult to getting the brace was effortless.read more
I started seeing Dr Lamantia since last October after spending 9 years seeing a chiropractor who unbeknownst to me was... not treating my scoliosis! You see I thought that's what chiropractor do, I was so wrong.Since wearing the scolifit brace one year and one month now, I have seen changes my hips are more balance as in my case the left was extremely higher than the right! The crease on my left side has significantly changed due to the excercises that I do along with wearing the brace! After a 10 weeks session and wearing the brave for 13 months I am seeing changes! I will wear the brace for a total of 18 to 24 months for at least 8 hours per day as I do 4 hours in the morning and another 4 in the evening before bed. My back is feeling stronger less pain in my upper left shoulder blade! My scoliosis is a Right Thoraco Lumbar! In my layman language very complex but thanks to Dr. Lamantia and his team I am able to see a difference and experiencing less pain and able to lead a better quality of life! If you are looking for a quick fix then this is not the place for you! Remember scoliosis didn't come overnight therefore you must be patient with seeing changes!read more
For my daughter and our family Scoliosis Systems has been a life saver. Not only has our daughter her spine improved,... due to constant new research and findings shared with her, she continues to understand what she can do to continue this journey. Dr. Lamantia is passionate about the field and always working to improve the science. The brace, the explanations, the care and Schroth/Scoli-fit all have helped tremendously. Highly recommend.read more
The Team at Scoliosis System cares and is passionate about improving the well-being of their patients. Every patient... case is unique. No two are the same. Scoliosis Systems carefully thinks through all the particulars and listens to what the patient wants to achieve.read more
Dr. Lamantia evaluated my case individually and prescribed a unique plan of care based on my specific needs. He was... thorough, knowledgable and caring throughout the entire process. Previously, the only options offered to me were surgery, a path I was extremely hesitant to take, based on negative reports of long term success. I was seeking a way to live a long life without pain and minimize deterioration. Dr Lamantia gave me that.read more
After several therapy alternatives, I feel that I am receiving the most comprehensive long term treatment for upper... spine scoliosis and related disc pain. Within one week of bracing, my my head rests aligned with my torso and I'm experiencing improvements down to my left leg and arm. I am encouraged and look forward to my ongoing treatment and well being.read more
Scoliosis Systems and working with Dr. LaMantia has changed my perspective on how Scoliosis can be treated. I have an... advanced “S”curve & unfortunately have been in pain. Dr. LaMantia treated me with such care and genuine concern. His knowledge of a successful non surgical approach and bracing has enabled me to eliminate the pain and treat my scoliosis with a dedicated series of exercises. In this day and age, his commitment to his patients is truly commendable!Scoliosis Systems uses the latest treatments combined with modifications/improvements from the German Schroth scoliosis treatment protocol. Dr. LaMantia is committed in all ways possible to helping me with my scoliosis health. This includes Nutrition, Physical and the Neurological components of scoliosis improvement. Dr. LaMantia is VERY kind, patient and a positive force for healing with scoliosis education. I appreciate all that you have done to help me and want to say thank you from the heart.read more
i am at 45 yo female who thought surgery was my only option and then through research I found the Spinecor brace & Dr.... Marc Lamantia.Dr Marc Lamantia was patient, empathetic and flexible towards me and all my questions. I couldn't get out of bed in the morning. The spinecor brace takes some getting used to but the reward far outweighs the annoyance. Plus, with a great Doctor to help ease the stress of getting the bands on correctly- it makes life easier in the brace.Trust me, I had a hard time getting used to it but the more you wear it- the Less you need it. I am now starting Scroth therapy and exercises and life is getting better. THANK YOU DR. LAMANTIA!!!!read more
Im a 33yo adult who was diagnosed with severe scoliosis at the age of 13. Had spinal fusion and rod placement, only to... have the rods removed 10 months later due to an infection. After the rod removal my spine reverted back to the degrees it was at prior to my first surgery. Ever since then I’ve been living with a super curved and twisted spine, a decreased lung capacity. While I have been active enough over the years, and have on and off gone to gym classes, biked, hiked, etc. I still had limited flexibility, and lived with chronic pain. Finally decided early this year that I needed to do something to help with the chronic pain, limited lung capacity, and most importantly to prevent the possible need for any more surgeries down the road. Had known about Schroth therapy for a few years, but nobody in Minnesota does it. Found Scoliosis Systems in NYC, and that they offered their 3-day Scolifit program, which included bracing with the Spincor soft brace. As I have family out in Jersey City, I decided this was what I needed to do, and the place I needed to do it. In just 3 days of their treatments and therapies, plus the Spinecor bracing I had 4 degrees reduction in my lumbar curvature, and 8 degrees reduction in my thoracic curvature!!Dr. Gandhi is amazing. Though all of the doctors at Scolisis systems are so kind, and knowledgeable. Each dr has a little different background than the other, so with their combined knowledge they came up with their Scolifit program which takes Katarina Schroth’s Schroth method up about 10 notches! If you’re an adult living with Scolisis like me, post-op or otherwise, I strongly encourage you to look into what SS can do for you. If you’re the parent of a child who is newly diagnosed with scoliosis, and are looking alternatives to surgery, or to prevent the need for surgery down the road, look no further. Hands down, I wish we had known about the Schroth method when I was first diagnosed, and that Scoliosis Systems had been around then. Every day I’m continually blown away by the before and after comparisons they post to their website and Instagram.read more
