What is scoliosis Brace?
In adolescent scoliosis, the risk of the curve progressing is high during periods of rapid growth. Brace treatment aims to stop the curve progressing to a level that would need surgery in children who are still growing and whose curve angle is within a certain range. The brace is made from the person’s body measurements or a three-dimensional scan; it applies pressure at specific points on the spine to guide the curve in a corrective direction. Effectiveness is directly linked to wearing the brace for the recommended hours per day. The brace aims to stop progression rather than permanently correct the curve; it is gradually stopped once growth is complete. It is recommended together with scoliosis-specific exercises.
How is scoliosis Brace done?
- Measuring the curve angle and bone maturity with examination and a standing full-spine X-ray
- Deciding whether a brace is indicated
- Making a custom brace from measurements or a scan
- Fitting, adjustment and an X-ray in the brace
- Check-ups at set intervals and stopping when growth ends
