Scoliosis in
adults is typically the result of either having
the disease as a child which has progressed to
adulthood, or from the degenerative processes of
abnormal aging. The scoliosis can be of any
classification ( lumbar, thoracic, thoracolumbar,
etc) and can result in chronic pain, leg
discomfort, digestive, and lung complications.

Options for
adults with scoliosis are somewhat limited.
Bracing is a good way to manage scoliosis in an
adult who has moderate to severe problems. Along
with specific therapy and exercise the brace will
offer the adult support, and increased opportunity
to halt progression of the curve. It must be
stated that adult scoliosis is rarely reversible.
However, Support through bracing offers a way to
decrease chronic pain and allows a way for the
adult to regain a comfortable lifestyle.
