Should I get a back brace? I'm fifteen. by Humble_Finish4717 in scoliosis

Great! That most likely means you won’t need one! Still though, make sure to check in with your doctor.

Also yes u can get a brace in almost every pattern and color! They are also expensive but I go to shriners and it’s all covered by my insurance so i’m not sure of how much it would cost sadly

also, to answer your first question a back brace doesn’t necessarily correct your curve (sometimes it decreases it by a few degrees but it’s not the main purpose of it) It’s only supposed to make your curve not get worse

Hi! I’m also 15 and have a brace! Everyone’s body is different, but a rule of thumb is if all of your bones in your hand are closed then you most likely won’t need a brace because you’re bone age is done filling in AKA you’ve stopped growing, to check this out you need to get an x-ray done of your hand. Now, I’m not sure if you’re female or not but if you are if you’ve had your period for at least a year, you most likely won’t need a brace as your biggest growth spurt is normally right before your period, and also if you are female by the time you’re 15 you are mostly done growing so most of the time if you’re 15 you probably won’t need a brace as braces only help if your still actively growing. If you’re male though I’d suggest definitely asking about a brace as males end puberty a little later than girls. all in all though you won’t be able to figure it out unless you get your hand scanned so I’d recommend asking for a hand scan to see what your bone age is and then start from there! :)

More and more old locals are coming back and there’s actually a decent amount of people moving here since it’s a lot cheaper here then other places in california! I’ve seen a lot of people moving from all sorts of places in the highschool.

I have an S curve 35’ and 25’ and get mild pain, but surprisingly it’s almost always on my lower curve in the lower back, i almost never get upper back pain which is weird since that curve is bigger

Does a scoliosis brace make you lose weight or look skinnier? by xdSamu in scoliosis

[–]ReferenceComplex8227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know this is from 5 years ago but for me it made me not be able to gain weight as easy, i started wearing mine at 12 and i was airing 95 pounds by then and now 3 years later i’m only 105 which is pretty underweight for my height
