The Boston Brace is used for treating a curvature in the thoraco-lumbar region of the spine. It is usually worn 23 hours a day, but can be taken off while the patient engages in physical activities like swimming or sports. The function and pattern of use of the Milwaukee Brace is similar to the Boston Brace, except that it includes a neck ring. Unlike these two types of Braces, the Charleston Bending Brace is worn only while sleeping. However, it is effective only if the top of the curve is lower than the level of the shoulder blade.
To conclude, although Scoliosis patients may initially find the Brace uncomfortable, most of them adjust to it quite well in the long run. Bracing is a safe, painless method to prevent the progression of the spinal curve, and works best for children and adolescents.
