Inversion therapy can’t fix scoliosis but may ease pain by decompressing the spine, relieving pressure, and improving flexibility and treatment response.
Excessive kyphosis, or hyperkyphosis, disrupts posture, movement, and comfort. While mild cases may go unnoticed, severe curves cause pain and imbalance.
Kyphosis and scoliosis both disrupt the spine’s healthy curves, but differ in form: kyphosis rounds the upper back, while scoliosis bends and rotates sideways.
Kyphosis is a natural outward curve in the thoracic spine, but when excessive (hyperkyphosis), it disrupts function and may be helped with corrective bracing.
Healthy spinal curves maintain balance and function. When kyphosis or lordosis falls outside the normal range, it can cause alignment issues and discomfort.
Adult scoliosis bracing can relieve pain, stabilize the spine, reduce curves, and improve posture—key benefits of nonsurgical, corrective treatment.
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.
