A member asked:
Will i have to wear a huge neck/back brace due to scoliosis?

No: Bracing is only used when a scoliosis patient is not full grown. Once you are mature the scoliosis curve will stay the same but it can slowly progress if the curve was greater than 40 degrees.

No: If you are really 35 years old, wearing a brace would have no effect. Braces are normally used for adolescents and children with progressive curves in an effort to slow the curves progression.
