Scoliosis Bracing
EVIDENCE BASED SUPPORT
Recent studies have established the effectiveness of scoliosis bracing as early, non-operative care that can statistically reduce the number of patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis that progress to high-risk curves.
McAviney et al. research concluded that there is evidence to suggest that spinal brace/orthosis treatment may have a positive short – medium term influence on pain and function in adults with either progressive primary (de novo) degenerative scoliosis or progressive idiopathic scoliosis.

Scoliosis Bracing Treatment
Within our centre we have a special interest in bracing treatment for scoliosis using a 3 dimensional dynamic brace called SpineCor as well as rigid bracing.
Treatment for scoliosis is managed according to the patient’s condition and presentation. Every scoliosis case presents differently so the management of each case is unique. Bracing is currently chosen as the non-surgical treatment for idiopathic scoliosis. This method is chosen to prevent the curve from progressing as the spine continues to grow. The treatment plan needs to be made by a qualified brace provider, and you can book an appointment with us here.
