Scoliosis
My DD - 14 was diagnosed with scoliosis 6 mths ago - she was a borderline case then as the curvature was 20% - she has 2 curves one to right and one to left. The doctor prescribed some physio and a review in 6 months. After doing the physio I was hopeful of some improvement but we have just had the review and the curvature has worsened to 27% and 25% and he recommends that she now wear a brace 12hrs a day.
I would be interested to hear from anyone that has a child that has to wear a brace - is it quite noticeable, is it comfortable? The doctor said she should not take part in PE at school but the NHS website says its okay to do sport. Are there different manufacturers of the brace - have read there is a new flexible brace - I don't know if this might be suited to my daughter but would be interested in anyones experiences. She doesn't have any pain and to look at her the scoliosis isn't obvious at all. I believe the brace just stops the situation deteriorating further - we will continue with the physio but will this improve the curvature - so far it hasn't. Any advice appreciated. TIA
