Welcome
 
The objective of BracingScoliosis.com is to provide patients, family members, and professionals with information to better inform them of the types of conservative treatment when considering scoliosis bracing.
These answers contained in the website have been concluded from my experience with bracing for scoliosis and therefore are my perceptions and beliefs. As a result, it is important to also consult you doctor, PT and Orthotist with any scoliosis questions. Individual results may vary.
 
Bracingscoliosis.com is part of the Grant Wood Orthotist Network www.grantwoodortho.com,   which provides a detailed description and function of the most commonly and uncommonly utilised scoliosis braces in the world.
