Providence Night Brace, Scoliosis

Purpose of the Device

  • This brace is worn during sleep. It is molded to conform to the patient's body while bending towards the convexity of the curve.

Indications

  • There are several distinct advantages to the Providence Brace program, nearly all of which are related to the nightwear component:
    1. Allows full, unrestricted musculoskeletal development.
    2. Allows opportunity for athletic participation, if desired.
    3. Causes fewer and less severe complications.
    4. Delayed complications are negligible, since brace is worn less time than not.
    5. Results can be assessed without the customary long-term follow-up.
    6. Decision-making regarding success or failure of the program can be made earlier.
