Benefits of Custom Brace Solutions
At Elite Chiropractic, we use the industry-leading ScoliBrace® system, a fully custom 3D bracing solution designed to address scoliosis with precision, comfort, and function in mind. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult living with scoliosis, custom bracing may play a key role in your long-term spinal health and quality of life.
1. Improved Curve Control
Custom braces like ScoliBrace are engineered using advanced 3D imaging and CAD-CAM technology, allowing clinicians to visualize and design an over-corrective brace specific to the individual’s spinal geometry. This level of customization results in more precise application of corrective forces, which can help:
* Slow or halt curve progression
* Improve overall spinal alignment
* In some cases, reduce the curve over time
2. Increased Comfort and Compliance
One of the biggest challenges with scoliosis bracing—especially among younger patients—is wearing the brace consistently. Poor fit can cause discomfort, skin irritation, or restricted movement.
Custom braces are designed to fit the patient’s body precisely, reducing pressure points and increasing comfort. This leads to better compliance, which is essential for bracing to be effective. With ScoliBrace, patients often report greater comfort, better mobility, and increased confidence in daily activities.
3. Enhanced Aesthetic and Postural Outcomes
Custom braces like ScoliBrace are designed with an asymmetrical, over-corrective design. Rather than simply holding the spine in place, the brace encourages movement toward a more neutral posture. This not only addresses the spinal curve but can also:
* Improve body symmetry
* Reduce visible rib humps or shoulder imbalance
* Support improved overall appearance and posture
4. Versatility Across Ages and Curve Types
Custom brace solutions are not limited to children and adolescents. Adults with scoliosis can benefit significantly from custom bracing to relieve discomfort, reduce postural collapse, and stabilize the spine.
ScoliBrace is appropriate for a wide range of scoliosis types and stages, including:
* Idiopathic scoliosis
* Degenerative scoliosis
* Congenital or neuromuscular scoliosis (in select cases)
* Post-surgical support and curve stabilization
5. Non-Invasive Alternative to Surgery
For many patients, a custom brace can serve as a powerful alternative to surgical intervention, especially when used early and consistently. When combined with therapies like the CLEAR™ Method, custom bracing can be part of a proactive, non-invasive approach to long-term scoliosis management.
In some cases, custom braces may even help delay or eliminate the need for surgery by stabilizing the curve and improving spinal alignment during growth or degeneration.
6. Designed with Cutting-Edge Technology
ScoliBrace uses 3D body scanning, algorithmic modeling, and digital design to create braces that meet exact specifications for correction and comfort. This advanced process ensures that the final product delivers superior outcomes compared to traditional plaster-cast or standardized braces.
Each ScoliBrace is reviewed and adjusted by certified clinicians trained in scoliosis-specific care, further reinforcing the quality and precision behind every custom brace.
Every scoliosis case is different. The degree, location, and direction of the curve—as well as the patient's age, body shape, and activity level—must all be considered when designing a brace.
Unlike traditional “one-size-fits-all” bracing systems, custom brace solutions are uniquely designed to match the patient’s spinal curvature, posture, and body shape. This tailored approach provides a higher level of effectiveness and compliance, especially when used as part of a comprehensive scoliosis care plan.
At Elite Chiropractic, we offer comprehensive scoliosis evaluations to determine whether a custom bracing solution is appropriate for your needs. For qualifying patients, we use ScoliBrace to create individualized treatment plans that may include:
* Brace design and fitting
* CLEAR™ Scoliosis therapy for spinal rehab
* Ongoing posture assessments and curve monitoring
* Long-term support to ensure the brace continues to meet your goals
We are proud to offer ScoliBrace for children, adolescents, and adults, helping patients at every stage of life experience better spine health without surgery.
