Back braces

If scoliosis progresses and the spine’s curve is getting worse, wearing back braces may be recommended as the child is growing. The brace does not correct the curve but might stop it from progressing.

They are customized and are created according to the size of the body. Braces can be removed every day, but it needs to wear 23 hours a day. You can remove the brace while taking a bath, swimming, or playing sports.
