What Are the Different Types of Scoliosis Braces?
Scoliosis braces are torso-conforming apparatuses – most commonly made of plastic or metal – intended to prevent further curvature of the spine among scoliosis patients whose bones have not yet reached maturity. A wide range of scoliosis braces exists. While the appropriate bracing option depends on the location and severity of the individual’s spinal curve, braces are generally prescribed for patients whose degree of curvature falls between 20 and 40 percent.
