A Dynamic Chest Compressor (DCC) brace by itself is useless unless it is made correctly and worn for the correct daily number of hours according to each period of the treatment, and applied along with an appropriate program of exercises. Specialized medical supervision with photographic documentation, periodic adjustments in the brace and solution of eventual complications are essential for a successful treatment (*). Our method is a medical procedure and we do not recommend non-medical professionals to be in charge of it. For patients from other countries, our supervision can be provided by e-mail only after a first visit because many details need to be explained to the patients in the beginning of the treatment.
