Scoliosis Bracing for Kids

At OP Specialty Bracing, we understand that no two scoliosis cases are alike. That’s why we offer a complete line of scoliosis braces and spinal braces—each designed to address the wide range of diagnoses and complexities children may face. From the Boston Brace 3D® to solutions for kyphosis and spinal trauma, every scoliosis back brace is crafted to match a patient’s unique anatomy and curve type. This customized approach ensures the best possible fit, reducing curve progression, and long term outcomes for every child we treat.

There are many factors that determine how effective bracing can be, including compliance to a full-time wear schedule, the design of the brace, the expertise of the orthotist, along with other factors we do not yet understand.

While the patient is wearing the brace, we want to see the curve reduce. This is called in-brace correction.

The goal of bracing is to stop curve progression; depending on age, curve type, severity, and flexibility, we may be able to obtain some correction after the brace is removed.

A 2013 report called the BrAIST Study provided evidence of the effectiveness of bracing in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In fact, bracing was shown to be so effective that the study had to be stopped early because it was deemed unethical to deny the treatment to other patients who may benefit from bracing.

The Boston Brace 3D is made from a scan of the patient. Rather than being fabricated over a symmetrical model, it is fabricated over an asymmetrical model. Specific coronal shifts and pushes are built in along with larger relief areas.

“You’re not broken. Whether you decorate your brace, hide it, or wear it proudly- you’re just like everyone else. Just with a brace.”
