The Kovalev family received a parcel from the Foundation, and in it was a Chenault corset, which their daughter Veronika now wears all the time. The corset prevents deformation of the spine and helps to align the hip and shoulder joints.
Four-year-old Veronika has congenital scoliosis. To avoid surgery, doctors recommended that the girl wear a Chenault corset. The first one, bought a year ago, helped to correct the curvature of the spine and improve posture: Nika wore it without taking it off. But when the girl grew up, the medical device stopped coping with its tasks, the disease began to progress again: the angle of curvature of the spine reached 75 degrees. Urgently needed a new corset, which you helped to buy.
“My daughter now has a very comfortable corset. Our wishes were taken into account. For example, there are soft tabs in the armpit area, thanks to them the pressure is reduced and the skin is not rubbed. We also got leather Velcro for easy care and use of the corset. The fitting was also excellent: the doctors made everything perfect. They checked that the child was comfortable to play, sit, walk, that the corset did not squeeze the internal organs, did not cause discomfort. I thank all tubers for their participation in the fate of my child. Thank you all very much,” says mom Galina.
Now Veronica is going through a period of adaptation to the “update”, it is important to increase the time in the corset to 18-20 hours a day. This will be enough for the spine to straighten, the pelvic bones to “return” to their place, and for the shoulder joints to go out of alignment. But most importantly, you helped Veronika to avoid a traumatic surgery.
Soon the girl and her mother will go to a complex rehabilitation in another city, there will be a long flight and an active life. With the new corset all the hardships of the road will be easy to bear, the spine will be protected.
Thank you for your help to the Kovalev family!
