ScoliBrace: A Custom 3D Solution for Scoliosis Treatment
As Dr. Natalie Otoya, a certified ScoliBrace practitioner at Simply Move Chiropractic in Charlotte, NC, I’m excited to share with you the innovative approach we use to treat scoliosis and kyphosis. Our primary tool is the ScoliBrace, a truly custom-made 3D brace that offers a unique approach to treating these conditions and works in tandem with out ScoliBalance rehabilitation.
Introduction to ScoliBrace
The ScoliBrace is a game-changer in the field of scoliosis treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which often rely on three points of pressure to try and squeeze the spine straight, the ScoliBrace is a 3D custom-designed over-corrective brace. It’s made specifically for each patient using computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM).
This over-corrective approach guides the body and spine into a posture that is the opposite of how the scoliosis is shaped, often achieving curve reduction and improving the overall appearance of the body. It’s suitable for patients with infantile, juvenile, adolescent idiopathic, and some neuromuscular scoliosis between 25 to 60 Cobb angle.
How Can ScoliBrace Help You?
- Halt or decelerate disease advancement
- Diminish the severity of scoliosis and kyphosis deformities
- Enhance physical appearance and aesthetics via posture improvement and enhanced bodily alignment
- Alleviate discomfort and lessen pain levels
- Foster improved stability and equilibrium in seniors, aiding in the prevention of falls
- Lower the likelihood of requiring surgical intervention
Using ScoliBrace with Adults
For adults living with scoliosis, we offer the Adult ScoliBrace. This brace is specifically designed to treat the unique aspects of adult scoliosis, which often cause pain and disability. The Adult ScoliBrace can help patients with both degenerative (de novo) scoliosis and a pre-existing scoliosis from adolescence, as well as age-related kyphosis and chronic back pain. It’s designed to provide significant pain relief and postural improvement, even when worn only part-time each day.
Custom KyphoBrace: Correcting Kyphosis with Precision
The KyphoBrace is a specialized 3D custom-designed corrective brace aimed at treating conditions like Scheuermann’s kyphosis, hyperkyphosis, thoracolumbar kyphosis, and anterior sagittal balance. Its design focuses on achieving the best treatment outcomes by restoring the thoracic kyphosis angle to a normal range for the patient’s age, potentially reducing the curve, improving posture, and enhancing overall body appearance. It’s made to be patient-friendly, easy to wear and remove, and customizable with unique colors and patterns. For more details, visit KyphoBrace.
ScoliNight Brace: Night-Time Intervention for Younger Patients
The ScoliNight brace is a 3D custom-made, hyper-corrective orthosis designed for nighttime use to address smaller, flexible spinal curves in younger patients. Suitable for curves less than 25 degrees, it is particularly effective for single thoracic, lumbar, or thoracolumbar curves.
The brace’s hyper-corrective approach aims to guide the body into a corrective position opposite to the scoliosis curvature, potentially stopping progression during growth, improving appearance, posture, and reducing the need for full-time bracing.
It is customized using CAD/CAM technology for each patient, offering a variety of colors and patterns for personalization. For more details, visit ScoliNight.
User-Friendly Design: Customizable Braces for Comfort and Style
All these braces are patient-friendly, opening and closing at the front making it easy to wear and remove without assistance. They also come in a variety of unique colors and patterns, allowing patients to personalize the look of their brace.
At Simply Move Chiropractic in Charlotte, I’m committed to providing the best treatment results for our patients. The ScoliBrace and its variations offer a powerful, personalized approach to treating scoliosis and kyphosis, helping our patients to live more comfortable and confident lives.
