Scoliosis Brace Treatment Significantly Decreases Lung Function Numerous recent studies have challenged the use of scoliosis brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as a nonsurgical treatment strategy to prevent curve progression mainly due to lack of empirical evidence supporting its long term effectiveness and also due to psychological problems directly attributed to scoliosis brace wear. The most common scoliosis brace…
