Optimal Spine & Posture

Scoliosis bracing?

First X-ray is a double thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis. These curves have a high chance of progression with growth remaining in this 12 year old girl.

Second X-ray is the same girl wearing a scoliosis brace that was prescribed to her for the remaining growing years of her life.

Scolibrace is a customized scoliosis brace for children, teens and adults of all ages worn to stabilize and correct scoliosis.

Bracing is prescribed when the Cobb angle is above 30°, and when a curve has the chance of profession in the future. This brace is custom fit to correct posture and spinal structure. The brace is based on your X-rays and multiple 3D body scans.

Discreet and comfortable, it can
be worn under clothes without notice.
Prompt treatment always leads to better results with scoliosis

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month. It’s an opportunity to start a conversation about scoliosis and create awareness together.

By highlighting the importance of early diagnosis, knowing the signs, and recognizing that conservative scoliosis care is available and accessible, we can help kids, teens, and adults get the help they need as early as possible and the best possible treatment results.

We had a blast over the weekend with our crew of Girls on the Run Treasure Valley on their big spring season event. 🏅👟 We got active by running a 5k with the girls and families of the Willowcreek team. 🏃‍♀️

This after-school program for 3rd-5th grade girls creatively combines physical activity with life skills designed to build character, enhance social-emotional health, and promote an active lifestyle in young girls. 🙌🏻 They run the Fall and Spring season every year, if you are considering supporting, sponsoring, or volunteering.
