Custom 3D Bracing for Scoliosis and Kyphosis
Research now shows that bracing for adolescent scoliosis is able to prevent surgery in most cases. In adults, bracing may prevent pain and curve progression. HyperKyphosis can also be managed with custom Kyphosis braces.
Can bracing help Scoliosis and Kyphosis patients?
- The BRAIST study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that bracing adolescent scoliosis patients prevented surgery in most cases.
- Case studies have also shown reduction of curves can be achieved in many cases.
- Adults with scoliosis can use part-time wear of a brace to reduce pain, prevent progression, and improve balance.
- Pastients with hyperkyphosis or Scheuermann’s disease can also use braces to improve their posture
- By using 3D body scanning, and 3D custom designs, braces can be made with better fit and better results
- The earlier bracing is started, the better the outcomes are
