People with scoliosis: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!
I have a severe curve- before treatment my thoracic curve was around 70 degrees and my lumbar curve was around 50 degrees, I was told that I HAD to get get surgery which scared me (I was 12 at the time) just all of the limitations and pain that came with it- no thanks. My mom found a brace that would work called a scoli brace- I am now 1 year and 8 months in to treatment and my thoracic curve is around 50 degrees and lumbar i think around 40 degrees. Thats a HUGE difference considering they told us a brace wouldn't work at all.
how many hours a day did you wear your brace and how many days did you wear it?
@@toodiemusic17 I'm currently wearing it for 21 hours a day 7 days a week, and like I said- 1 year and 8 months. I'll probably start weening out of it soon because I'm almost at risser 4.
How old are you??,, you still growing or not?
@@shahym4847 well technically I'm supposed to be done growing but I can still grow because my back will straighten out. I started wearing my brace when I had two years left to grow. So to answer your questions I'm 14 and technically no I can't grow anymore unless my back straightens out.
@@savethebees9099 Hi I am 17 years old in risser 3 and I have thoracolumbar scoliosis C curve of 35 degrees Is there any hope for it to decrease even a little with bracing?

i have a 48° scoliosis and i have a brace as well as some exercises. so i would advice to get a brace
@@gghostggirl01 I want brace too but my doctor not giving me he said do only exercise 😔
Btw are you from where,
@@whiteflower7620 im from England. and please get a new doctor.
I was led here while searching for the effects of scoliosis on the body, a great video.
I am going to look into bracing. My scoliosis is very mild and I have long since stop growing. I never knew this option existed.
Good luck! I have a brace but my spine is way over the limit at a 60 degree curve, but we are trying to slow down the curve with the brace but we are trying i just got it on the 12th of april, same as you i am also a long way from my bones to stop growing. I am getting a surgery in about a year , and that is a long way so im praying that the brace can slow it down. Good luck angel!❤
I am also looking for brace but in my city isn't available 😔😔 . I have mild scoliosis too .
@@mayasudac6232 any improvement with Brace ??? Where you get it from ?? Best of luck , get well soon
Mild here too but always In pain
@@mayasudac6232 how are you doing with your brace and how are you feeling?
thank you for the video
If spine curve is more than 60 then brace is effective or not ???
@2025 Nichole Xu yeah
it wont make it worse but it wont cure it
the doctors ive gone too said any over 45 u might want to start thinking about surgery
I started bracing when my thoracic curve was 70 degrees and my lumbar curve was around 50 degrees and my thoracic curve is now around 50 degrees and my lumbar around 40, so i'd say it depends on a lot of factors but in short, it's definitely possible that a brace could straighten out your curve
If your back gets to 45° or more degrees you need to do surgery but if your under that amount u have a chance of wearing a brace. Im literally like only wearing it at night bc its summer and idk if its good
I couldn't handle the brace. Lived in the tropics and brace was thick hard plastic. Also had to wear a singlet under brace to help with chaffing.
Thank you sir, how to buy a braces sir, PL contact ,
Then there are people like me, who had both a brace and surgeries! 4 times in fact!
Does wearing it hurt?
If I have a 43 percent curve and I wear the the brace as I grow will I get taller when my spine straighten?
With a severe level curve it may affect your height slightly but as you grow it’s hard to pin point the straightening of the Spine rather than the growth. So pretty much you probably won’t tell if it’s the brace or just height growth as you get older.
@@aidan_dominguez but it will put me at the height I was supposed to be at
Hi! My sister had very very severe scoliosis with a 75° Curve at only 5 years old, to the point her organs were almost crushed. I also have scoliosis and a weird case but to complicated to describe (Short story my doctor has never seen my type and has to go around and give talks about mine) But, my sister just recently got her spinal fusion and it added about 2in on to her height! Hope I answered your question. Good luck with the brace, it’s not to bad i promise!!!
I want brace but my doctor said it's not working because I have stopped growing. But i really want brace cuz I don't want surgery
@ThatUnsocialButterfly really ,are you okay
@@whiteflower7620 you will also get taller
@@WhtsTheSZN really 😳😳
@ThatUnsocialButterfly are you ok ?? Where you get surgery from ?? Hospital , country and Dr name plz .. and what is your age and what was your angel ?? And now ??
Plz plz reply me
@@younghyun6181 thanks dear for telling me 😊
Where you got brace ?

Same lol
Same ahahaha
@@gabriellafin5617 is it supposed to improve your curve
@@WhtsTheSZN yes! For me, I have two curves which means the brace is pushing the opposite direction of the curves ti hopefully fix it!
Is it hurt ? since mine is hurt af
Those braces look incredibly uncomfortable. How does one breathe?
Hi I have dextroscoliosis and the doctors said braces won't work if I'm going to use it cauz my bones is already matured. At what ages would braces work?
It works while you’re still growing
i guess the only thing you can do is exercises regularly focusing on your spine and surgery (if needed)
I don't know about boys, But I can help for girls.
2-3 years after starting your period for the first time is when bracing stops being an option and surgery to more likely. If you have a 15° curve or less, Surgery is unlikely necessary and therapy might do the trick (Please check with your doctor first, I'm not a professional) However, With a degree of 20° or more you may need surgery but surgery is really when your 25° or more and not growing. Your degree won't change drastically after your done growing but this is all my experience with lumbar scoliosis. (Again please check with a doctor, I'm not a professional)
Help my please my have scoliosis
Bracing creates a really weird dynamic in your brain, This is for you girls.
Personally, my doctor prescribed me a Boston Brace for 18 hours a day. I only wear that brace until I stop growing, now, 2 years post my mentraul cycle and I don't know if this is an uncommon opinion but...I really don't want my period. I mean, Who DOES? (Btw it's okay if you disagree, I'm not being a bully) But, wearing that everyday is hard and a lot of maintenance. So it creates this dynamic that you WANT your period because you rather get something done thats bound to come, and get the stupid brace over with! Anyways, thx for reading 💕💕
u lucky mine is 23 hour
@@ria4874 I really applaud you guys for having hearts of steel, Wearing your brace for 23 hours. I don't know how you you do it 💙💙💙 How do you spread out your time with 1 hour?
I have just recently gotten a brace and it sucks :(
Wearing a scoliosis brace is difficult, like it’s SO FREAKING HOT IN THIS THING. I cannot explain the torture of summer covered in a plastic corset, it’s just so sweaty and uncomfortable. Not to mention that the padding irritates my skin. But, I’m sure if we put effort into wearing it, the results will come out pleasing!
@@jolieemouse Yeah it's pretty uncomfortable and hot, though I prefer to use an oversized shirt over the cotton body sock as it's cooler.
Sir we wanted to this thype of brace
This brace is serious business .
Can bracing increase your hight ?☹️ because I’m 5,8 and wanna be 6,1. 😂
Mine did, but dont do it bc of that! Do it if you really need it
If you have scoliosis i guess you can grow a little bit.
But if you don't have scoliosis you can't.
Hi sir. I am also scoliosis patient. I am 18 years old boy. I am studying in college. Please give me a scoliosis brace
My back is killing be everyday

Does exercises works? i have an scoliosis and i found out since November 2020 10 cm .
it helps your muscles to be more “active” you can say because while wearing your brace your muscles will be weakened, do exercises that focuses on your spine . Im with you :)
I hate my brace
Do you still hate it that much?
@@hamburgeryumyum7491 Yes
me too 😥
@@novaanass6033 it's not so bad when you aren't laying on bed
@@hamburgeryumyum7491 honestly I don't have a problem in sleeping or laying on my bed with the brace but when I stand up or sit up I feel so much pain in differents parts of my body because of the plastic hardness also the brace appears under clothes even the breathing become hard
