ScoliSMART Activity Suit

What is the process for getting the SAS?  

Gather the necessary information requested including a full-body image, scoliosis x-ray, and driver's license. Follow the instructions under the “Get Started Now” tab on our webstore. Once reviewed by a doctor an approval to purchase will be sent to the email address provided for you to complete your purchase.

How is it different from a brace? 

Braces, including Spine Cor, are designed to artificially push or pull the spinal curve straighter. The result is a temporary and passive approach that leads to muscle weakening over time. The ScoliSMART Activity Suit has been designed through advanced engineering and human biomechanical analysis in order to stimulate and engage deep layer spinal muscles while you perform normal activities of daily living. 

What activities can or can't I do while wearing the ScoliSMART Activity Suit? 

There are no restrictions while wearing the ScoliSMART Activity Suit. Patients are encouraged to avoid activities known to aggravate their condition and the ScoliSMART Activity Suit is not recommended for use while swimming.  

What type of X-Ray do I need? 

The doctor needs to clearly see your scoliosis curve and pattern, the medical term is a “72 inch full spine standing scoliosis X-Ray”. There should also be a visual indicator of the direction on the X-Ray - normally shown as a R or L on the image. We can accept an adult x-ray that is up to 5 years old. You can obtain an x-ray from your general practitioner or chiropractor. 

What is the largest curve I can have?

There is not a minimum or maximum curve size to determine if you are a candidate for the ScoliSMART Activity Suit.  Only a trained and experienced ScoliSMART doctor can make this determination.  

What types of scoliosis respond well to the ScoliSMART Activity Suit? 

Idiopathic, degenerative, and biomechanical scoliosis often respond well. The SAS is not suitable for congenital or infantile scoliosis. 

Can I use the SAS if I've had spinal fusion or scoliosis tethering? 

Possibly. It will have to be determined on a case-by-case basis. 

Are the results from using the ScoliSMART Activity Suit permanent? 

Current data has proven a lasting effect for over 10 years at this time. 

How is the SAS different/better than a brace? 

The ScoliSMART Activity Suit (SAS) is not a brace and completely differs in its effect on your scoliosis condition. The SAS strengthens and retrains the misfiring muscle patterns around your spine often resulting in a straighter spine with less pain. Bracing can weaken your muscles and often causes more pain long-term. 

Will it make my spinal muscles weaker? 

No, the ScoliSMART Activity Suit is an active rehab process that increases core strength and stability. 

Where can I find research on the SAS? 

Please see the research section on www.ScoliSMART.com  

Why do I have to be over 18 to order?  

The ScoliSMART Activity Suit is not intended to be a “standalone treatment” for growing kids who are most at risk for severe curve progression.  For adolescents (patients under 18) the ScoliSMART Activity Suit is used as part of a broader approach treatment effort that can include clinical testing, nutrient therapy and Scoliosis BootCamp. The ScoliSMART Activity Suit is appropriate as a standalone treatment option (but, still part of an overall lifetime treatment effort) for the more stable adult scoliosis cases.

Does the ScoliSMART Activity Suit reduce pain? Does it hurt to use it? 

Studies have proven it is effective at decreasing pain in adult scoliosis patients. Like any new exercise, the suit must be worn initially in small increments to avoid overuse and fatigue which will generate discomfort.  Please follow the wear guide instructions found in the product user guide. 

If my weight fluctuates, will my SAS still fit comfortably?

How much does the ScoliSMART Activity Suit cost?

The price of the SAS is $995.00 USD. There may also be import or customs fees, and possible VAT (value added tax assigned by your country) that you will be responsible for if you are outside of the US.

What payment options do you accept?

We accept most major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express), PayPal, HSA, Flex Spending Accounts, and CareCredit. For International orders, we accept credit cards only.

Are there payment plans available?

Purchases made with CareCredit allow you to pay for your ScoliSMART Activity Suit in smaller monthly payments. If you would like to learn more about CareCredit, or if you would like to apply for a CareCredit account, please visit CareCredit.com

Is it covered by my insurance?

Health insurance coverage for the ScoliSMART Activity Suit depends on your specific health insurance policy for the A9300 code.  

ScoliSMART will provide a superbill to assist customers with insurance coverage/reimbursement.

Can I use Medicare or Medicaid?

Unfortunately, no, these policies do not cover the ScoliSMART Activity Suit, because it is not a brace.

Is there a warranty, and what does it cover?

There is a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty on faulty stitching or failure not caused by excessive wear.

Is there a money-back satisfaction guarantee?

Every customer will have 30 days to determine if the ScoliSMART Activity Suit is a "good fit" (pun intended) for their lifestyle and daily routine.

Please note, scoliosis is a lifetime journey and customers should not have an expectation for dramatic symptom or curve reduction results by the end of the initial 30 day period.
