Hello, I'm getting a brace for my scoliosis soon. It's just meant to stabilize it so it doesn't get worse, not improve it. However, I am a little worried about breathing difficulties, sleepless nights, open wounds, etc. Can anyone give me tips on how to cope with this or how to make it less bad?
I'm getting a medical brace soon and would like to know if I can even ride a bike with it. I bought a bike today that allows me to have a very upright posture. Can I ride with it or is it too dangerous?
I have back problems and never walk upright, always with a slight hunch.
What's it like, and what happens? What do I need to pay attention to? Can I decide things myself? Thanks in advance! (Please provide lots of information)
Hello community! I have to see an orthopedist soon because of my misalignment. I most likely have scoliosis. Unfortunately, that means I'll probably need a corset.

Hello, Today I was diagnosed with 40 degrees of scoliosis. I'm going to see a more specialized doctor, but I wanted to ask you first if anyone has any experience with what exactly is done at this degree. Thank you in advance
Because of kyphoscoliosis, I wear a brace with a neck piece. Since I started wearing the brace, my teeth and jaw have shifted slightly. My orthopedist once suggested that there's a connection between my spine and my teeth/jaw. I've been wearing braces since before I started brace therapy. The neck piece already exerts a certain…
I'm a 13-year-old girl with scoliosis. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I started at 14 degrees, but it gradually got worse. Now I'm at 33 degrees and wear a brace. Should I be worried about the surgery? LG BadGuy13
I'm currently sewing a corset and I've just laced it up for the first time on my dressmaker's dummy when suddenly an eyelet falls out… I took a closer look, and several other eyelets are already tearing out (I didn't even fasten it). Somehow, it just didn't occur to me to reinforce the fabric in…
Hello, I have 12 degrees of scoliosis on the top and 12 degrees of scoliosis on the bottom. I have to see my doctor for a check-up every six months. If my scoliosis is now at 16 degrees, do I need to wear a brace?
