The duration of brace usage is a critical factor in the effectiveness of scoliosis treatment. The recommended hours of brace usage can vary based on the severity of the curve. For milder cases, using the brace only at night while the child is sleeping might be sufficient. However, for more significant curves, the recommendation might be 16 to 21 hours a day. One key aspect of effective scoliosis bracing is selecting the right type of brace. Dr. Strauss’s clinic employs seven different types of braces, each designed to address specific needs. The diversity in brace options allows for a more personalized approach to treatment.
