Bracing is sometimes used to help managed scoliosis, and can help control or prevent further curvature of the spine. There are a number of types of braces that are used and these include the Boston brace, Atlantic Soft Rim brace or a scanned or plaster moulded brace. You can read more about these here [link to leaflet]

If a brace is suggested as part of your treatment your team will talk to you about how it fits and how long to wear it for. The longer the brace is worn, the greater the impact will be. The ultimate goal is to wear the brace for 23hrs out of 24hrs, every day. We know this can be hard and so it can help to talk to your team about any worries or questions you have.
