Non-Surgical Treatment

Brace treatment

When your doctor has established, through regular check-ups, that your scoliosis is progressing, he can prescribe:

A cast brace (which has almost been discontinued other than for infants).
A rigid brace made of light plastic material. This is the current standard treatment and limits or stops the progression of the disease if worn 23 hours per day. Braces in this category include: Thermoplastic TLSO, Boston Brace, Cheneau Brace, Charleston Brace and Milwaukee Brace.
A non-rigid dynamic brace (SpineCor). This provides at least the same efficiency as rigid braces in straightening curves during treatment but offers significantly better long-term post treatment results, cosmetic improvement and stable correction after brace removal. Additionally, SpineCor is much more acceptable for the patient, offering better cosmesis, almost total freedom of movement and continuation of sports and normal activity of daily living. The four hours per day break from treatment advised with SpineCor makes it even more acceptable to patients.


	The traditional rigid brace is restricting and uncomfortable.		Our brace is made of light, non-irritating material. It is discreetly worn beneath patient clothing for optimum self-image and comfort.

Types of Scoliosis Braces

The Bolick Clinic offers a variety of brace options for the treatment of scoliosis. These include thermoplastic TLSO braces, the Boston Brace, Cheneau Brace, Charleston Brace, and Milwaukee Brace. Each brace type is designed to provide effective curve correction and stabilization during the treatment process.

In addition to traditional rigid braces, the clinic also offers the SpineCor brace, which is a more comfortable and cosmetically appealing option. The SpineCor brace allows for greater freedom of movement and enables patients to continue their normal daily activities and sports participation.

Brace Fitting and Customization

The Bolick Clinic takes a personalized approach to scoliosis brace treatment. Each brace is custom-fitted to the patient's unique spinal curvature and body shape to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness. The clinic's team of experienced professionals work closely with patients to select the most appropriate brace and make any necessary adjustments throughout the treatment process.

Proper brace fit and regular monitoring are crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes. The Bolick Clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support to help patients successfully manage their scoliosis through bracing.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment

The Bolick Clinic understands that scoliosis is a progressive condition that requires continuous monitoring and adjustment of the brace. Patients are scheduled for regular follow-up appointments to assess the effectiveness of the brace and make any necessary modifications to ensure it continues to provide the desired level of curve correction and spinal stabilization.

By closely tracking each patient's progress and making timely adjustments to the brace, the Bolick Clinic is able to maximize the long-term outcomes of non-surgical scoliosis treatment. This commitment to personalized care helps patients achieve the best possible results and maintain their spinal health over time.

Patient Education and Support

The Bolick Clinic recognizes the importance of educating patients and their families about scoliosis and the available treatment options. The clinic's team takes the time to explain the condition, the rationale behind the recommended treatment plan, and what patients can expect throughout the course of their care.

Patients are also provided with resources and guidance on how to properly wear and maintain their scoliosis brace, as well as strategies for managing any challenges or discomfort that may arise. By empowering patients with knowledge and support, the Bolick Clinic aims to ensure a positive and successful treatment experience.
