Bracing

Treatment Options

For growing patients with moderate curves (typically 20-40 degrees), we may recommend bracing. Modern braces, such as the ScoliBrace, are designed to:

• - Push the spine into a corrective position
• - Counteract the scoliotic curve
• - Preserve spinal strength
• - Reduce postural deviation

Bracing is typically recommended to be worn 16-23 hours per day until the patient reaches skeletal maturity.
