Yes. She used to wear a brace but now she took it off.
It really depends on how bad the scoliosis is and what your doctor recommends. If you have between 15 and 20 degrees it won't be much of a problem but if its from 20 to 35 degrees of an angle, you might meed a brace, and if there is anymore of a curve you would need to consider surgery.
I have scoliosis. 1 wear a brace 2 get surgery 3 do exercises approved by a doctor for your scoliosis 4 get medal bars planted next to your spine for support (surgery)
Yes. For one, scoliosis is when your spine is set irregularly, and you would need an upper body brace to straiten out your spine. Mild scoliosis is even worse. It's when your spine is set in an even more crooked positioning, and you would need a upper body brace and wear it for a few weeks. If you have it, you should see a doctor.
it really depends on what kind of scoliosis it is, and how bad it is. Generally, the doctors will probably do their best to make it in the shape of your body, with different shapes of padding inside of the brace instead of outside of the brace.
Ask your orthopedic doctor for help. The doctor can then make a mold that will be personally made for you. The mold gets sent to another company and after a couple of weeks you have a scoliosis brace.
After scoliosis surgery, it depends where they fused/placed the rods/screws...I had scoliosis surgery and I can crack the TOP half of my spine, but, the screws are at the bottom of my back and I am unable to crack it there. :)
A TLSO brace is a rigid back brace that keeps the spine straight by restricting the wearer's movements. It is the most common brace used for halting spine curvature in people with scoliosis (though it typically doesn't correct existing curves). It is also used by people recovering from back surgery or spine injuries, as it provides a lot of back support and restricts movements that might cause pain or damage. Finally, a TLSO brace can be used as a posture corrective brace for people who want to force themselves into an upright posture.
