Patients with untreated scoliosis can function well as adults. However, delaying treatment can lead to more serious problems, such as back pain and difficulty breathing, especially in people with larger thoracic curves.

After the doctor diagnoses scoliosis and obtains an X-ray of the spine, an assessment is made as to whether the child needs a brace application. Depending on the skeletal maturity according to the Risser scale (iliac apophysis), it is determined whether the patient is in the phase of rapid growth and development.

The Sanomed brace is designed according to the principles of the Cheneau brace and is 100% compatible with Katharina Schroth exercises . It was designed by the German institute " Sanomed ", whose design was largely contributed by Michael Rexing.

In adults with scoliosis, the goal of treatment is different compared to treatment in children who are in the period of growth and development. The goal of treatment is based on increasing functionality, mobility and reducing back pain.
