After diagnosis, scoliosis patients must choose a treatment: traditional bracing like the Boston brace or the corrective, modern ScoliBrace®.
Scoliosis brace costs in the U.S. range from $2,500–$10,000, depending on factors like type, materials, care level, and insurance coverage.
Bracing is a proven nonsurgical scoliosis treatment, but not all braces are equal—3D corrective bracing offers more potential than traditional TLSO options.
Thoracic scoliosis pain occurs in the mid-upper back and chest; conservative treatments offer natural relief by addressing the condition's underlying cause.
The thoracic spine, the largest section, supports posture and flexibility. It connects to the rib cage and is prone to conditions like kyphosis and scoliosis.
A scoliosis rib hump is a common sign of thoracic scoliosis, causing one side of the rib cage to protrude due to the spine’s impact on body symmetry.
Scoliosis disrupts spinal symmetry, often causing muscular imbalance—overused muscles on one side and weakened ones on the other—leading to strain and soreness.
Most cases of scoliosis are progressive and tend to worsen over time, making early detection and proactive treatment essential to managing the condition.
Adult scoliosis is often painful due to spinal compression. It may stem from untreated childhood scoliosis or age-related degeneration of the spine.
