Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis System Studies have shown that the Providence brace, a spinal orthosis worn only at night, is just as effective in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as full-time braces. That’s important, because compliance increases when braces don’t interfere with a child’s everyday life. The Providence is also effective for obese, juvenile and neuromuscular patients. By completing the Providence courses, practitioners will learn how to satisfactorily address the needs of these patients through review of scoliosis principles and use of innovative technology to improve fit and enhance comfort. Thanks to everyone who attended the 2011 Scoliosis Symposium; it was an educational and enjoyable day and a half. We hope to see the rest of you next year! 2012 UPCOMING COURSES Friday, February 17, 2012 Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis System – ½-day course PRIMEFARE WEST Salt Lake City, UT 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Friday, March 9, 2012 Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis System – ½-day course OKLAHOMA ASSOCIATION FOR ORTHOTICS & PROSTHETICS Oklahoma City, OK 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, 2012 Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis System – ½-day course AAOP – 38^TH ACADEMY ANNUAL MEETING & SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM Atlanta, GA 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. June 2012 Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis System – ½-day course LOUISIANA CHAPTER AAOP New Orleans, LA Date and Time to be determined.
