Scoliosis bracing
for Adolescents

At Haven Chiropractic Posture and Scoliosis in Asheville, NC, bracing for children and adolescents is the cornerstone of our scoliosis treatment approach.

Studies show that the sooner children are treated for scoliosis and postural deformities, the better the outcome.

Our goal is to stabilize the scoliotic curves, as well as correct the curvature of the spine as much as possible. We can aim for these types of promising results because of Chiropractic BioPhysics’ mirror-image protocol, in conjunction with the ScoliBrace system.

Benefits of Children and Adolescent Bracing

Prevention of Curve Progression: The primary goal of bracing in younger patients is to prevent further progression of spinal curvature during growth spurts, which is crucial for long-term spinal health.

Support During Growth: As children and adolescents grow, bracing provides essential support to ensure the spine remains as stable and straight as possible. In some cases, our mirror-image approach actually forces the scoliotic spine into a more “normal” shape.

Avoidance of Surgery: In many cases, effective bracing can eliminate the need for corrective spinal surgery, reducing the risks associated with more invasive treatments.

Improved Posture and Functionality: Bracing can help improve overall posture and functionality, enabling young patients to participate more fully in their daily activities without significant limitations.

Heightened Self-Esteem: By using our tight-fitting custom brace during treatment, younger patients can go about their daily lives. Once the curves are corrected or lessened, children and adolescents regain their self-esteem.

Can Scoliosis in Adolescents be Reversed?

While the complete reversal of scoliotic curves in adolescents is rarely attainable, our approach using mirror-image scoliosis bracing has been shown to reduce curves in younger patients dramatically.

That’s why it’s crucial for parents of children with scoliosis to seek a corrective chiropractor’s help as early as possible, in order to give the child a greater chance for scoliosis curve correction.
