Case – Adolescent Bracing (13 year old female)

Correction of a 33° Thoracolumbar Scoliosis with ScoliBrace®
and ScoliBalance®

At age 13, the patient presented at the ScoliCare clinic following a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). She was experiencing mild back pain and noticed asymmetry in her posture. Active in sports – ballet, dance, and netball – four times a week, her X-rays revealed a 33° left thoracolumbar scoliosis with a high risk of progression.

She was prescribed a full-time ScoliBrace® protocol combined with the ScoliBalance® rehabilitation program.

In-Brace Correction: One month after bracing, her scoliosis reduced significantly from 33° to 13° (61% reduction) on the in brace X-ray.

Long-Term Results: After completing treatment, out-of-brace X-rays showed a further reduction of the curve to 6°, a 27° (82%) Cobb angle reduction overall.

Improved Function and Pain Relief: Her posture and pain greatly improved, and she is now pain- free, continuing her sports activities without discomfort.
