About Juvenile Scoliosis Bracing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Scoliosis bracing is a treatment approach that may be used for young patients diagnosed with juvenile scoliosis. Juvenile scoliosis, a form of idiopathic scoliosis, occurs in children between the ages of 4 and 10. It is seen more frequently in girls – particularly as they approach the upper end of this age range. The condition is more common than Infantile Idiopathic Scoliosis, yet less common than Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

High Risk of Curve Progression<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Children with juvenile scoliosis generally face a high risk of curve progression. Research [1] has shown that many children with this condition will experience worsening of their spinal curve and require active treatment. Juvenile curves almost never resolve on their own, making monitoring and early management essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

Importance of Early Detection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Because juvenile scoliosis can progress significantly during periods of rapid growth, early detection and early treatment are crucial. Identifying changes in the spine as soon as possible allows families to explore timely intervention options that may prevent further progression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

How Bracing Helps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The goal of early bracing is to support overall spinal balance, helping maintain an upright posture, improve strength and flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life. Bracing aims to control curve progression, halt worsening, and\u2014where possible\u2014correct the curve, potentially reducing the need for future surgery.

Bracing Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Juvenile patients are typically prescribed a specific wearing schedule for brace wear, and consistent adherence to this protocol is crucial to getting the best results possible. A brace can be prescribed for full or part-time wear, depending on the patient\u2019s individual case and the severity of their scoliosis.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Time out of the brace can be taken for participation in sport and other healthy activities.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Bracing may also be combined with scoliosis specific rehabilitation, for example ScoliBalance\u00ae<\/a>, depending on the age of the patient. In juvenile patients , scoliosis specific exercises focus on improving posture, managing pain and helping to stabilise the spine. They may also complement brace wear, and help maintain the correction achieved with bracing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Our approach to scoliosis bracing for juvenile patients combines advanced technology, evidence-based methods, and experienced clinicians to create fully custom 3D over-corrective braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an iPad-mounted structured light scanner, our BraceScan software captures full 3D body scans in any position. These scans, along with digital X-rays, posture photos and other clinical details, are used to design an over-corrective ScoliBrace\u00ae that improves three-dimensional spinal alignment by harnessing spinal coupling rather than traditional 3-point pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because every curve is unique, every brace is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ScoliCare\u2019s focus is to accurately assess each curve from the start and recommend treatment options tailored to each patient. To see if bracing may be suitable for your loved one, contact us for an assessment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Our brace for juvenile patients is a 3D custom-made over-corrective ScoliBrace\u00ae designed to guide the body and spine into a posture opposite to the scoliosis curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is generally used for curves between 25\u201360\u00b0 Cobb, though specific indications depend on age, curve type, flexibility, and severity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key goals include controlling curve progression during rapid growth, aiming to halt or even correct the curve, and potentially reducing the need for surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact us if you have questions about our juvenile bracing system or to see if bracing may be a suitable option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
