Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis- myths

by Chester John Donnally, III, M.D | 5 years ago

When thinking about scoliosis back braces, many people have visions of the antiquated, metal braces of the 1950’s that come up under a person’s neck. In fact, most scoliosis braces are now made of thermoplastic materials easily concealed under clothing. The concealed nature of braces may be feeding a perception that scoliosis braces aren’t used anymore – which is not true. Braces are still used for treatment to control scoliosis in children that are still growing.
