Families (mothers) of children with scoliosis often ask us, "When should I start wearing a corset?" This varies depending on the doctor's opinion, so if it is said that it is better to make it from about 17-18 degrees, there are also doctors who say that it is not effective even if it is not over 30 degrees. This is not only due to the degree of severity (curvature), but also to what kind of corset brace is created at the medical facility. In addition, the doctor's opinion may change on a case-by-case basis, as the age of the child at the time of the consultation may be considered. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact a Schroth Scoliosis Therapist (English available). e-mail : info@physiocenter.jp
