Do i have to wear my back brace at night? when i get my back brace for scoliosis, will i have to wear it at night, too, or just during the day?

Depends: You may want to discuss this with your doctor. In most cases, the brace is known as a 23 hour brace meaning you wear it all times except for showering etc. There are other types of braces and in my patients with mild curves that are not likely to progress i let my ptients wear them less. Thnk you for your question.
