A diagnosis of scoliosis can create several fearful thoughts. People can have tons of questions in their minds, like: Will my spinal curve worsen? Will wearing a brace affect your lifestyle? Do I need to get my surgery done? There are a number of non-surgical options that could be beneficial to you.
If you are thinking of using a brace such as ScoliBrace for adults, it can be helpful to talk through your options with a scoliosis specialist. But consider asking these important questions before deciding on your treatment.
Will ScoliBrace work for me?
Not all curves require bracing. Ask your doctor about the severity of your curve. How has itx behaved over time? How old are you, and would a custom hard brace be comfortable for you to wear in your daily life? Or would a flexible brace such as SpineCor be more suitable?
What will the process involve?
A good clinic will guide you through the whole process very clearly. How many hours per day would I be expected to wear the brace? How frequently will I be reviewed for progress? What do the first few weeks of wearing the brace usually feel like?
What results can I expect?
It is important to know the truth. What can the brace help with? This may be helping your posture, reducing pain or managing progression. What can’t it do? If anyone promises a perfectly straight spine, they deserve a polite second look.
What experience stands behind the recommendation?
When looking for the best scoliosis doctor in Toronto, ensure they have good qualifications and have lots of experience treating scoliosis. You should ask how many adult patients they have treated and if they can provide patient stories. This can give you assurance of getting the right treatment.
