A member asked:
My child needs a milwaukee brace. what will it feel like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below:: The milwaukee brace stabilizes & prevents progressions of a deformity in the spine. It may seem uncomfortable and confining. The brace should be worn for increasing intervals during the day until your child can wear it 23 hrs/day. Your physician may require a different time frame. Skin care is very important along with remaining active and fit.Numbness, stinging, burning, pain should not occur.
