I recommended a *TLSO brace* for him, and today was his *fitting appointment*.
*Benefits of TLSO Brace:*
1. *Controls Curve Progression*
- The main purpose of a TLSO is to *prevent the spinal curve from getting worse* as the child grows.
2. *Non-surgical Treatment*
- It’s an effective *non-invasive* option to manage scoliosis without surgery in mild to moderate cases.
3. *Supports Spine Alignment*
- Helps keep the spine in a better position throughout the day.
4. *Custom-Made for Comfort*
- Each TLSO is *custom molded* to fit the child’s body for maximum support and comfort.
5. *Improves Posture*
- Encourages a straighter posture, reducing visible asymmetry in the shoulders, ribs, and waist.
6. *Safe for Daily Use*
- Lightweight, breathable, and can be worn *under clothes* — designed for daily wear (usually 18–23 hours/day).
7. *Works During Growth*
- Most effective in children who are still growing, which is when the scoliosis curve can progress the fastest.
