The Providence Nighttime Scoliosis Brace is effective in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Full-Time to effectively treat and correct the multi-planar deformities of scoliosisbrace wear requires the consideration of gravity, ground reaction forces, and balance in brace design to effectively treat and correct the multi-planar deformities of scoliosis.

Three dimensional bracing for scoliosis is not a new concept. However, the methods, tools, and accuracy have changed with the incorporation of 3D scanning and CAD design.

In 3D bracing, it is important to evaluate all aspects of each patient’s radiograph and determine the best design and modifications accordingly.

There are significant advantages to bracing at night that not only simplify brace design and allow for more targeted corrective forces, but greatly impact compliance, providing for better outcomes.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is recognized as the most common type of spinal deformity and estimated to affect anywhere from 2% to 5% of all children.

In contrast to daytime brace wear, bracing in the recumbent position eliminates the conflicting forces of gravity, allowing for natural elongation of the spine and horizontal rib alignment.

The Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis® system utilizes a specialized measurement system designed to simulate the effects of the brace.

An important consideration in determining which type of bracing is most suitable to maximizing positive outcomes is the patient’s body type.

June is National Scoliosis Month. While we stay on the forefront of all scoliosis research and treatment options all year long, this month is dedicated to growing awareness in the public. Educating parents and caregivers, early detection can be possible.

Understanding how to recognize scoliosis will help early detection in children. There are several signs to look for but a medical professional should always confirm the diagnosis.

A scoliosis diagnosis can seem daunting at first. Once you realize how common it actually is and learn about others who have been treated with scoliosis, it seems less scary. Read about some of the well known people who have also been diagnosed with scoliosis.

Many people are aware of idiopathic scoliosis, which is the most common form. There are three other types of scoliosis that can affect patients as well.

Your scoliosis treatment will depend a great deal on how early it was detected and how much of a spinal curve you have. There are varying treatment options for each spinal curve.

For any care plan to be effective, a patient must adhere to the dosing and scheduling of the prescribed treatment. This is by far the biggest challenge to bracing for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

It's hard to discern all the facts about something when researching online. Here are the top 6 things to know about Scoliosis.

That being said, there are also instances where the child is the first in the family to develop the condition. Or, in some cases, a child may suffer from severe scoliosis when she only has a family history of mild scoliosis (or vice versa).

Despite common misconceptions, scoliosis can’t be caused by playing sports, bad posture, or carrying heavy backpacks.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be very easy to overlook because the condition is often painless. If a child wears normal clothing and a parent isn’t on the lookout, it will likely go unrecognized.

Experts recommend that children be examined before growth spurts for two reasons. First, this is the time that signs and symptoms typically appear. Second, from a physiological standpoint, it’s the most advantageous time to treat AIS.

Funding research or organizations that help patients with their scoliosis journey is very rewarding.

Calling attention to an often hidden condition is tricky. But when scoliosis warriors come together they can have a beautiful impact.

Our custom Pectus Carinatum brace features a low profile design with both anterior and posterior panels with a flexible surround that easily contours around the patient’s chest. These panels are designed to direct both an anterior and posterior force needed for compressive correction.

The SCT 3D Chêneau (Style) brace is a corrective TLSO uniquely constructed to bring the body and spine into the best possible postural and morphological 3D corrected alignment by using a combination of forces applied to the body surface by specifically designed pads, facilitated by expansion or relief spaces.

The prefabricated S.T.O.P. (Spinal Trauma Orthotic Positioning) braces are made up of a series of modular components that offer a combination of trunk support and ease of fitting based on standard body proportions for both male and female patients. Each anterior and posterior section is made out of a (Rigid) polyethelene plastic lined with foam and have adjustable velcro straps.

How to detect scoliosis? There are six signs you can look for to determine if you or your child may have scoliosis. Ask a medical professional if you think your child may be showing signs of scoliosis.

Scoliosis is defined as the lateral deviation of the normal vertical line of the spine which, when measured by x-ray, is greater than ten degrees. Scoliosis consists of a lateral curvature of the spine with rotation of the vertebrae within the curve. Rotation of the vertebrae also occurs which produces the rib cage and flank muscle asymmetry.

The spine protects the spinal cord and provides a base for your head and organs. It is also provides mobility for your trunk.

According to the National Scoliosis Foundation, roughly 2-3% of the US population has some form of scoliosis. Based on the 2020 census, that is close to 7 million people of all ages living with scoliosis in the USA.

For treatment of mild curves between 25-40 degrees, scoliosis bracing is a non-surgical option that can be prescribed by your physician.

He also emphasize the significance of wearing the brace for at least 13 hours a day, with further benefits seen up to 18 hours. For patients with curves above 25 degrees, a full-time brace worn for 18 to 20 hours a day is recommended. Surgical options are considered for curves above 45 to 50 degrees. It's crucial for families to explore these options and seek advice from informed professionals.
