WELCOMEThe 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 your orthopedist(MD), physical therapist and orthotist with any scoliosis questions. Individual results may vary. Bracingscoliosis.com is part of the Grant Wood Orthotist Network www.grantwoodortho.com, provides a detailed description and function of the most commonly and uncommonly utilised scoliosis braces in the world.

What is Idiopathic Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a multifactorial 3D deformity of the trunk and the spine, which appears and can progress during any of the rapid periods of growth in apparently healthy children,( Rigo, M., 2004).
Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common of all forms of lateral deviation of the spine. This is a lateral curve of the spine greater than 10 degrees, in an otherwise healthy child, for which a currently recognizable cause has not been found (Lonstein, J., 1995).
