I am deeply honoured to be featured by the BC Chiropractic Association during Scoliosis Awareness Month! - DrGage

06/27/2025

June 26 is National Scoliosis Awareness Day

Scoliosis is more than just a spinal curve, it can affect posture, mobility, and overall quality of life. It’s a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and today we shed light on its impact.

As chiropractors, we’re committed to providing evidence-based care, education, and support to help those living with this condition.

By raising awareness, we foster understanding, compassion, and access to better resources for early detection and ongoing care.

We have had great success with this kind of brace. There are options made specifically for adults of different ages and stages of life!
DrG

Our adult brace is an adult specific scoliosis brace focussing on postural realignment and spinal stabilization. It aims to help patients with both degenerative (de novo) scoliosis and a pre-existing scoliosis from adolescence as well as age related kyphosis and chronic back pain. Specific indications will vary according to the patient’s individual situation.

Adult scoliosis behaves differently to scoliosis in children. Pain is usually the main concern for adults with scoliosis and just treating the curve alone does not necessarily improve pain.

The ScoliCare brace design deals with the unique features of adult scoliosis that cause pain and disability such as a change in the postural balance (sagittal and coronal balance) and the development of instability of some vertebrae (lateral listhesis). For adults, getting a brace which is specifically designed to treat the unique aspects of adult scoliosis can make a huge difference to their treatment goals and quality of life.

Contact us on 1300 883 884 or email patients@scolicare.com if you have questions about our bracing system for adults or to see if bracing might be a suitable treatment approach.

A massive whale that was once thought to be in distress was soon discovered to be suffering from a deformation of the spine.

An honest, heart-felt interview of the father of two (both of which have scoliosis and are using ScoliBrace braces). He openly discussed their experiences, challenges, and wins through the treatment process. Well worth the watch!
