May help: Braces for scoliosis have been used for decades. Adult types of scoliosis: scoliosis as child/adolescent and the abnormal spine curve increased into adult life or ibecoming painful with aging, patients without previous scoliosis but developing an abnormal curvature with aging.With severe pain and evidence of instability, bracing may be very helpful. Bracing may help reduce motion across the spin.
