Scoliosis bracing is one of the biggest controversies in the medical field. Some doctors believe in traditional bracing, while others completely avoid using it on their patients.

Traditional bracing tries to stop curve progression by squeezing the area. But the only group of patients that can use this brace is children with mild to moderate scoliosis.

The problem with squeezing scoliosis curves with traditional bracing is that it can cause muscle atrophy and weakness, and developing this can result in even more problems for the patient.

After researching more information about traditional bracing, Dr. Nalda decided to try them on some of his patients. This process resulted in worse scoliosis progression in all the patients that tried traditional bracing.

This trial and error helped the Scoliosis Reduction Center to develop a corrective-style bracing that could be used in all types of patients that could benefit from it. These corrective braces push into the curve and work as a complementary program to in-office rehabilitation and exercises.

These corrective-style braces can be used in a wide variety of patients instead of traditional bracing, which is only used in children.

Younger patients can benefit from corrective bracing by strengthening the spine to stop progression during growth spurs. Adult patients will also benefit from a smaller curve and greatly reduce the body pain caused by the condition.

Brace options for scoliosis is one of the bigger controversies surrounding scoliosis. The reason being traditional bracing squeezes the spine and holds a curve in place resulting in more issues. Early in his career Dr. Nalda found data supporting the use of bracing, so he began experimenting with traditional braces. Unfortunately, he saw failure with all of his patients. He had more success without the use of traditional bracing. It all came down to specific design. All braces are different and are only as good as the person who designs them. Dr. Nalda began to create braces that would work as a corrective tool for the spine. This widened the scale of patients who could utilize a brace and was not limited to adolescents. A corrective brace can improve posture, function and lower a curve below the surgical threshold. It can be used in addition to certain therapies and rehab, giving the patient a better opportunity for positive results.
