Bracing is a proven, effective non-surgical way to treat Scoliosis.

Scoliosis is a disorder that causes an abnormal curve of the spine. Early detection is imperative in treating Scoliosis as effectively as possible. We recommend that all children be checked  by a qualified professional for spinal abnormalities before they are about 9 years old. Often times, parents are told that exercise like swimming will help Scoliosis, or that simple, non-specific treatment can correct the curvature. However, the fact is that swimming and other non-specific exercises and treatments will not correct scoliosis. Going this route actually allows the Scoliosis to progress as it is being left untreated and being allowed to progress. Furthermore, many health professions will encourage you to “wait and see” because they are not sure as to how to treat Scoliosis. Eventually, if the magnitude of the curve is allowed to progress enough, it is then often treated with surgery. At Shaughnessy Chiropractic, Dr. Kenny Chan is an expert when it comes to treating Scoliosis non-surgically.

We Treat Scoliosis Using 2 Different Types of Braces

Dr. Kenny Chan will help you determine which brace is right for you

SpineCor Brace

SpineCor is a flexible brace that is effective for the treatment of scoliosis with moderate curves that are less than 35 degrees. After 20 years of clinical research and trials, a flexible dynamic corrective brace and treatment was developed by SpineCor. It is now rapidly being made available to patients around the world. SpineCor is the first and only dynamic corrective brace for scoliosis.

Scolibrace

The ScoliBrace system is a new and unique Scoliosis bracing method for more severe curves (30-60 degrees). It uses the best corrective principles from other current bracing methods. Used in conjunction with 3D imaging software, BraceScan, scans of the patient are taken and the brace is customized to fit their unique measurements and needs.
