What is Scoliosis Bracing?
Scoliosis bracing is a non-surgical treatment for spinal curvatures, typically prescribed for growing children and adolescents with curves between 25-45 degrees. The brace works by applying corrective pressure to prevent curve progression.
Types of Scoliosis Braces
Boston Brace (TLSO)
The most commonly prescribed scoliosis brace. This rigid plastic brace extends from below the breast to the hips and is worn under clothing. Effective for thoracic and lumbar curves.
Charleston Bending Brace
A nighttime-only brace that applies over-corrective force while the patient sleeps. Suitable for single lumbar or thoracolumbar curves.
Spine-Cor Dynamic Brace
A flexible brace system that allows more movement than rigid braces. Uses elastic bands to guide the spine into better alignment.
When is Bracing Recommended?
Bracing is typically recommended when:
- Curve measures 25-45 degrees (Cobb angle)
- The patient is still growing (Risser sign 0-2)
- Curve shows progression over time
