Bracing is a treatment option for patients whose curve is smaller to moderate. The ultimate goal of a brace is to prevent the curve from getting larger to ultimately avoid the need for surgery in the future. However, a brace does not cure scoliosis.
At Scottish Rite for Children, there are different types of custom-made braces for patients. Hear our patient, Zach, explain what it's like to wear a brace for his scoliosis.
