Are braces recommended for adults with Scoliosis?

In order to stop a Scoliosis curve from advancing, these braces might differ in how pressure is delivered to the spine and ribs.

The Boston brace is the most widely prescribed Scoliosis brace today. The Boston brace is well-known as a kind of thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis (TLSO).

The Wilmington brace is specially made based on a cast of the patient laying down and facing up.

The Milwaukee brace is no longer often utilized. However, it is still employed for greater thoracic or cervical spine curvature.

Mild Scoliosis, defined as a curvature of 10 to 25 degrees, does not necessitate immediate treatment.

A back brace is used to treat moderate Scoliosis, which is defined as a curvature of 25 to 50 degrees or a quickly increasing curve.

Severe Scoliosis, defined as a curvature of greater than 50 degrees, is treated surgically. These patients require a spinal fusion.

Brace wear prescriptions varied from 2 to 23 hours per day, with mixed brace wear compliance reported; both are comparable with adult bracing experience.
