Since we are treating scoliosis before it has had a chance to progress, there is no need for bracing with the Early Stage Scoliosis Intervention program. Also, research has shown that both rigid bracing and soft bracing have been shown to be ineffective in preventing the progression of scoliosis curvature.

A study published in the American Journal of Orthopedics found 60% of patients surveyed felt that bracing had handicapped their lives, and 14% felt it left a psychological scar. No wonder, since the typical bracing protocol recommends the patient wear the brace for twenty three hours per day.
