Scoliosis Custom Bracing and Treatment Q & A
1.
How does scoliosis treatment with custom bracing work?
Scoliosis treatment with custom bracing is designed to address the abnormal curvature of the spine. Dr. Atzmon will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the degree and pattern of your spinal curvature. Based on his evaluation, he creates a custom-fitted brace that gently applies pressure to specific areas of the spine, encouraging proper alignment over time. By wearing the brace as recommended, you can reduce discomfort, prevent further progression of the curve, and improve overall spinal health. The brace is tailored to your body for maximum comfort and effectiveness, and we provide guidance on how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
