What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis affects the spine by changing its alignment and most often occurs just before puberty. Minor scoliosis cases just require a brace while more serious cases may require spinal fusion surgery. Brace has been the go-to treatment for adolescents to stop curve progression. However, curves can grow throughout adulthood leading to pinched nerves, herniated disc, reduced mobility, back pain and reduced lung capacity.
