SpineCor Scoliosis Braces: An Effective Treatment Option

a SpineCor Scoliosis Brace is designed to allow partial movement with adjustments which can handle the growing body of a child. Its’ current versions are likely to limit the quality of life of the patient making it easy to wear for 20 hours a day.

Staying comfortable during your scoliosis treatment is due to maintaining your braces. One should clean his/her braces with mild soap and water and then allow it to dry. Use rubbing alcohol once a week to wipe your brace since the friction of your hands and alcohol toughens your skin and regularly check on your braces’ components. If any sign of “wear and tear” on the brace is present, contact your doctor to avoid any problems with the brace. Consider wearing a clean cotton t-shirt under your brace. When wearing braces, you should first consider the type of clothing that best suits you. Therefore, consider wearing clothes that leave a loose area around the braces which assists in hiding extra bulky straps. Accessorizing also helps in diverting attention from your braces and also boosts your confidence too and helps you blend in.

Pluses and Minuses of Scoliosis Braces in Arizona

According to research, scoliosis braces have both pluses and minuses. In adolescents, it has a greater likelihood of attaining a skeletal curve in the maturity of less than 50 degrees. There is also a significantly lower rate of surgery for brace-wearing patients and thus bracing decreases the high-risk curves from progression. Bracing causes side effects that weren’t there initially like muscles getting weakened and also problems while breathing. After the braces are removed, your muscles may need therapy to develop again properly.

Despite all those challenges, braces are considered useful since they are purely physical and helps in the treatment of scoliosis in its’ early stages. Ultimately, you want to consult your scoliosis chiropractor in Arizona.  Make sure that all of your questions are answered and that your concerns are addressed as well.  In the case of younger patients such as pre-teens or teenagers, you want to make sure that they get a bit of counseling from the clinic to enforce the need for them to wear their braces as required.

The place you must start is simple.  Call your scoliosis chiropractor in Arizona today.
