How does wearing a back brace help for people with scoliosis?
I have been wearing back brace for about a month and i am having rashes all over my body.It has practically disfigured my body.But i want to know why wearing it will help me decrease my dregrees.
i have scoliosis too. the back brace will NOT fix the curvature. it only holds it in place from getting any worse. im using the clear institute program to get fix my scoliosis cuz i really dont want to have to wear a brace. wearing the brace MIGHT help fix it a little but chances are it wont. email me if you want excersises or info on the clear institute. xx kate
I have scoliosis and I’ve never been given a back brace! I just have physiotherapy and my physiotherapist says that supports are not the best option as they can lead to dependancy which then makes the problem worse.
There is much controversy over braces and whether or not they are beneficial.
Hard braces work by keeping your spine straight as you grow, sort of like how a stake holds a tomato plant up while it grows to keep it from bending and getting crooked. The bad thing about them is they can cause muscle dystrophy and deform your rib cage.
A newer brace called Spinecor works differently. It pushes your spine back into place while stabilizing it. It’s made of a plastic belt and a series of straps that wrap around your body.
Some people don’t agree with bracing at all and try non bracing treatments or a mix of both.
Everyone is different so it’s important to discuss with your doctor which treatment approach is best for you.
Good Luck
Talk to your Dr, you may be having an allergic reaction! It could just be a heat rash! Sadly the brace didn’t help me, and I had to have surgery
