Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda

Episode 15: Scoliosis Brace Options: Traditional vs New Bracing


Listen Later

Scoliosis bracing is one of the biggest controversies in the medical field. Some doctors believe in traditional bracing, while others completely avoid using it on their patients.

Traditional bracing tries to stop curve progression by squeezing the area. But the only group of patients that can use this brace is children with mild to moderate scoliosis.

The problem with squeezing scoliosis curves with traditional bracing is that it can cause muscle atrophy and weakness, and developing this can result in even more problems for the patient.

After researching more information about traditional bracing, Dr. Nalda decided to try them on some of his patients. This process resulted in worse scoliosis progression in all the patients that tried traditional bracing.

This trial and error helped the Scoliosis Reduction Center to develop a corrective-style bracing that could be used in all types of patients that could benefit from it. These corrective braces push into the curve and work as a complementary program to in-office rehabilitation and exercises.

These corrective-style braces can be used in a wide variety of patients instead of traditional bracing, which is only used in children.

Younger patients can benefit from corrective bracing by strengthening the spine to stop progression during growth spurs. Adult patients will also benefit from a smaller curve and greatly reduce the body pain caused by the condition.
