📣 Kyphosis Isn’t Just an “Older Adult” Issue 📣

Did you know that kyphosis and hyperkyphosis—an exaggerated forward curve of the upper spine—can affect adults as young as their 20s?

Whether it’s from poor posture, screen time overload, genetic factors, or past injuries, this condition can cause pain, fatigue, and impact your daily life.

At Bay Area Scoliosis Center, we offer innovative, non-surgical treatment options to manage and correct kyphosis, including:

✨ The ScoliBalance Program – customized rehab that strengthens the spine, improves posture, and supports long-term spinal health.
✨ The Kypho Brace – a custom-fit brace that promotes alignment while maintaining mobility.
✨ Posture training, breathing exercises, and lifestyle coaching to help you feel your best every day.

Don’t ignore the signs—forward rounding, back pain, or difficulty standing tall. Early intervention makes all the difference.

Book a consultation today and take the first step toward better posture and a healthier spine.

Summer travel - whether it’s road trips or long flights - can bring back pain to the surface for both kids and adults.

You might notice your child slouching or complaining of discomfort during long journeys, while adults often dismiss their own pain as “just travel fatigue.” But it could be something more. This season is the perfect time to pay attention to posture and recurring pain, for every generation in the car.

Notice the signs. Schedule a spine check with us this summer.

ScoliBrace or ScoliBalance? How We Choose the Right AIS Treatment
⁠
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) affects 2–3% of teens, and at Bay Area Scoliosis Center, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every spine is unique—and so is every treatment plan.
⁠
So how do we decide between the ScoliBrace and ScoliBalance? It all starts with a detailed evaluation. We look at:
✔️ Curve size
✔️ Growth stage (Risser sign)
✔️ Risk of progression
✔️ Lifestyle + patient goals
⁠
ScoliBrace is best for moderate, progressive curves (25°–40°), especially in growing teens. It uses 3D tech to guide the spine toward correction—while staying comfy and customizable.
⁠
ScoliBalance is our go-to for smaller, stable curves or teens near skeletal maturity. These Schroth-based exercises build strength, posture, and confidence—no brace needed.
⁠
Often, the most effective plan is both. Bracing provides structure, while rehab builds control and long-term stability.
⁠
Wondering what’s best for your teen? We offer free consultations to map out the right approach.
⁠
Visit us at Bay Area Scoliosis Center—where we don’t just manage curves, we support growing bodies and confident futures.

Can Bracing Help When Surgery Is Refused?

Many adolescents with scoliosis curves over 40–50° are told that surgery is their only option. But what if surgery isn’t the path a patient wants to take?

New research shows promising results: Bracing can help manage scoliosis progression in patients who refuse surgery—especially when paired with scoliosis-specific exercises like ScoliBalance.

A 2023 review found that bracing, even for curves 40°+, may:

✔ Slow or stop curve progression
✔ Reduce the risk of future deformity
✔ Improve posture and appearance
✔ Delay (or even avoid) surgery

With a customized plan—including a 3D ScoliBrace and expert-guided exercises—many patients can achieve personal goals like:

• Curve stabilization
• Pain reduction
• Improved aesthetics
• Better breathing & function

Early detection = more options. And for those refusing surgery, there are conservative treatments worth exploring.

Want to get the most out of your ScoliBrace?

Pairing your brace with Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises (PSSE) could be the game-changer you need.

PSSE is a scoliosis-specific rehab approach designed to support spinal correction by improving posture, core strength, and body awareness in a 3D way — all tailored to your unique curve pattern.

✅ Better posture
✅ Stronger, more balanced muscles
✅ Improved breathing
✅ Greater confidence & brace compliance

One effective PSSE method is ScoliBalance®, which works alongside bracing to support your spine both in and out of the brace. Whether you’re a teen just starting out or an adult continuing care, PSSE can help you feel stronger and more in control of your scoliosis journey.

Ready to take the next step? Contact Bay Area Scoliosis Center to learn more about how PSSE can enhance your bracing treatment.

Hyperkyphosis: It’s More Than Just “Bad Posture

Did you know an excessive forward curve in the upper spine—called hyperkyphosis—can affect much more than just how you look?

➡️ Breathing: That curved posture can compress the chest and limit lung expansion. Even light activity might leave you slightly winded or short of breath.
➡️ Quality of Life: From reduced mobility and energy to poor sleep and lower confidence, hyperkyphosis can quietly impact your daily routine in big ways.
➡️ Appearance & Confidence: The rounded upper back and forward head posture can affect how you feel about yourself—and how you move through the world.

At Bay Area Scoliosis Center, we offer non-surgical solutions like ScoliBrace and ScoliBalance to help correct posture, improve breathing, restore movement, and rebuild confidence.

Start with a complimentary consultation—because breathing easier, standing taller, and living better is possible.

☀️ Beat the Heat in Your Brace! ☀️

Wearing a ScoliBrace during hot weather? We know it’s not always easy—but staying cool is possible with a few simple tips

Go Breathable
Wear a soft cotton or bamboo bodysock/singlet under your brace to help wick away sweat.

Hydrate Often
Water = comfort. Staying hydrated helps your body stay cool and your skin happy.

Light Layers Only
Skip the bulky clothes—light, loose-fitting outfits help air flow and keep you cooler.

Try Powder
A skin-safe powder can reduce friction and absorb moisture under the brace.

Take Quick Breaks
Feeling overheated? Step into a shady or air-conditioned spot and cool down with a cold pack for a few minutes.

If you’re still struggling with heat or skin issues, reach out—we’re here to help. Hot weather doesn’t have to mean brace discomfort. A few smart choices go a long way!
