Adult Scoliosis Has Different Goals — Here’s What We’re Working Toward Together.

Pain Relief First

Most adults with scoliosis wake up every day carrying a dull ache in their back, hips, or shoulders. Many were never treated as kids and have watched their curve grow 1–2 degrees every year without realizing it. A custom brace gives your spine immediate support. The exercises build the strength to hold it there. Adults only wear the brace 3–6 hours a day — it fits into real life.

Better Quality of Life

Scoliosis doesn’t just affect your spine — it affects how you feel about yourself. Patients tell us that standing taller changes everything: less pain, more confidence, and the ability to do the things they stopped doing years ago. That’s the goal. Not just a better X-ray — a better day.

Stop It from Getting Worse

Without treatment, adult curves typically progress 1–2 degrees every year. Over decades that adds up fast. Many of our adult patients see 6° or more of correction — which is the same amount a major spinal surgery considers a success. We aim for that result without the surgery, the recovery, or the permanent hardware.

Restore Balance — Reduce Fall Risk

A spine that leans to one side shifts your center of gravity. For older adults, that imbalance is one of the leading causes of dangerous falls. A properly fitted brace restores your upright posture, steadies your balance, and gives your body the structural support it needs to move safely — whether that’s walking the grandkids to school or just getting up from a chair without holding on.

Scoliosis Doesn’t Stop at 18 — Adult & Elderly Bracing for Pain Relief and Stability

ScoliBrace for Adult & Elderly Scoliosis & Hyperkyphosis

The goals of braces in adults are a bit different than in children.

degeneration 1

Doctors are no longer trying to prevent the worsening degrees of the S shaped curvature. They are no longer trying to just “get you through” the final growing stages of puberty and you have a more stable spine curve. Braces can give you more balance and less fall risk.

degeneration 2

The braces are designed to take the stress of the muscles and ligaments and give your body a little break and get some pain relief. The brace should be used along with scoliosis specific exercise to try and strengthen the spinal muscles to help maintain a corrected posture, which again helps with pain. 

degeneration 4

Exercises are recommended as part of any therapy plan because they help strengthen muscles in the torso which can ease some discomfort associated with scoliosis. Using ScoliBalance we can help improve the curve too.

ScoliBalance — Designed for the Adult Spine

Discovering you have scoliosis as an adult can feel discouraging, but you don’t have to just “watch and wait” as pain or stiffness increases. You deserve a plan that actively helps you feel stronger, stand taller, and move with more confidence. That is why we use the ScoliBalance system.
Rather than a generic plan, ScoliBalance builds a custom, 3D roadmap tailored to your specific curve and your goals. By combining the most effective non-surgical therapies into one cohesive program (Schroth, SEAS, CLEAR and others — under one set of SOSORT guidelines
), we provide a proactive path to care that helps you maintain your independence and enjoy your favorite activities.
Dr. Trosclair is Level 2 certified, which means your exercise plan is built around your exact curve pattern, your posture compensations, and your daily life — not a generic handout sheet.
The technical name is Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercise, or PSSE. The plain English version: exercises that retrain the muscles pulling your spine crooked to finally let go — and wake up the ones that stopped helping years ago.

Why Adults Choose ScoliBalance:

Targeted 3D Correction: We use specialized exercises that mirror your curve, helping to re-train your muscles and improve your posture.
Evidence-Based Care: Our program follows global standards, ensuring you receive the highest quality of non-surgical, non-invasive care.
Proactive Results: We focus on corrective motions to help manage your symptoms, improve spinal stabilization, and slow curve progression.
Built for Your Life: Our goal is to help you reduce pain, improve balance, and gain the body confidence you need to stay active in your daily life.
Your Personalized Journey No two spines are the same. Your plan is personalized based on your posture, curve type, and daily functional needs. By integrating ScoliBrace (our custom-designed, over-corrective bracing) with specific exercises, we create a system that works for you.

Most scoliosis exercise programs pick one method and stick with it. ScoliBalance doesn’t. It pulls the best elements from five of the most respected scoliosis therapy systems in the world — including Schroth and SEAS — and combines them under SOSORT’s international treatment guidelines. The result is a program built on decades of global research, filtered through Dr. Justin’s real-world clinical experience treating adult curves across three countries.

Ready to build a stronger future? Let’s create a plan to stabilize your spine and help you get back to the things you love.

Discreet Support: German Scoliosis Taping


For the adult professional, the brace isn’t always practical for the office. Our German Taping Technique offers the support you need without the plastic, the heat, or the questions from coworkers. It’s your secret weapon for looking and feeling taller while you work.

Sometimes, the best support is the kind you barely notice. If you need consistent support for your daily activities but want to avoid bulky braces, ourGerman-inspired Scoliosis Taping Technique offers a discreet, highly effective solution.
A hard brace at the office isn’t realistic for most adults. The German Taping Technique is. Worn directly on the skin for up to 5 days, it gives your spine consistent muscle support while you sit through meetings, travel, or work long shifts. Moisture-wicking nylon tape means Louisiana heat and humidity won’t touch it. Your coworkers will never know. But by Wednesday you’ll wonder how you worked without it.

Tools to Help You Move Better: ScoliRoll & Scoliosis Activity Suit

Scoliosis Activity Suit

Active Correction for Adults Who Cannot Afford to Stop Living and don’t want a hard brace

sas

Let’s be honest about something most scoliosis clinics won’t say out loud: a rigid brace is not realistic for every adult. You have a job. You have a schedule. You have a wardrobe that does not include a hard plastic shell. You live in Louisiana where it is 95 degrees in September. The idea of strapping into a brace for hours every day while managing a real life is not laziness — it is a practical reality that most treatment plans completely ignore.

The Scoliosis Activity Suit was built for exactly that gap.

What It Actually Is

This is not a brace. It is not a support garment. It is wearable exercise equipment — meaning it does its job through movement, not by holding your spine in a fixed position. When you walk, bend, reach, or simply go about your day while wearing it, the suit’s dynamic tension system gently pulls your muscles into better alignment and retrains them to hold that position on their own over time.

Think of it as a workout your spine does in the background while you live your normal life. No gym required. No extra time carved out of your day. No explaining to coworkers why you are wearing something unusual under your shirt.

    The Long-Distance Solution

    For patients who drive from Mississippi, Texas, North Louisiana, Arkansas, or anywhere beyond a two-hour radius, the Activity Suit solves a problem that most treatment plans create — how do you keep making progress when you cannot get to the clinic every week?

    German Taping gives you five days of postural support per application. ScoliRoll gives you 20 minutes of home traction per day. The Activity Suit gives you active muscle retraining during every hour you wear it. Combined with your ScoliBalance home exercise plan, long-distance patients can now build a complete home program that does not require weekly visits to maintain momentum.

    How It Works

    The suit uses dynamic tension — a system of elastic resistance built into the garment — that creates gentle, consistent corrective force as you move. Unlike a rigid brace that holds your spine in one position, the Activity Suit works with your movement patterns. Every step you take, every reach, every turn reinforces the corrective signal to the muscles that have been holding your spine crooked for years.

    Over time those muscles begin to change. The ones that have been overworked and tight start to release. The ones that have gone quiet and weak start engaging again. Your posture improves not because something is holding it in place — but because your body has been retrained to hold it there on its own.

    Wear it 1 to 5 hours a day during your normal routine. That is it.

    Who It Is Best Suited For

    The Activity Suit is not for everyone — and Dr. Justin will tell you honestly at your first visit whether it is the right fit for your situation. But it tends to be the best option for:

    • Adults who work in professional settings where a rigid brace is not practical
    • Adults whose job involves physical activity that a hard brace would restrict
    • Patients who live more than two hours from the clinic and cannot make regular visits for German Taping sessions
    • Adults who have tried rigid bracing and could not maintain compliance due to heat, discomfort, or lifestyle
    • Patients who want active correction happening throughout their day rather than during dedicated brace-wear hours
    • Anyone who needs a budget-friendly correction option — the Activity Suit comes in at under $1,000, making it the most accessible correction tool we offer

    What You Can Realistically Expect

    The Activity Suit is not a cure and it is not a substitute for a full treatment plan. Here is what patients typically experience:

    • Noticeable reduction in daily fatigue — the suit does some of the muscular work your spine has been forcing compensating muscles to do
    • Gradual postural improvement over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily wear
    • Less end-of-day pain, particularly in the low back, hips, and between the shoulders
    • Improved walking posture that family members often notice before the patient does
    • Better results when combined with ScoliBalance exercises — the exercises teach the correction, the suit reinforces it throughout the day

    Activity Suit vs Rigid Brace — Which Is Right for You?

    This is the question most adults need answered before they commit to anything. Here is the honest comparison:

    ScoliBrace worn 3 to 6 hours daily gives you stronger in-brace correction because the corrective force is more precise and more targeted. If you can commit to consistent daily wear, ScoliBrace will produce faster structural results.

    The Activity Suit worn 1 to 5 hours daily gives you correction through movement rather than static positioning. Compliance is higher because it fits into real life. Results build more gradually but consistently — and for many adults, a treatment they actually stick with outperforms a superior treatment they cannot maintain.

    If budget is the deciding factor, the Activity Suit at under $1,000 is significantly more accessible than ScoliBrace. If lifestyle fit is the deciding factor, the same is true. If maximum correction potential is the priority and you can commit to the wear schedule, ScoliBrace wins.

    Dr. Justin will help you make that call based on your curve, your goals, and your life — not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

    A Custom Brace Built for Adult Life — Not Just Adult Curves

    Designed using 3D scanning technology so it fits like it was made for your body — because it literally was.

    Adult scoliosis comes with decades of muscle compensation, arthritis, and disc changes that a standard brace was never designed to handle. ScoliBrace uses 3D scanning technology to map your exact curve, posture, and body shape — then builds a brace engineered to push your spine toward correction, not just hold it in place. Adults wear it just 3–6 hours a day. It opens from the front, moves with your body, and disappears under normal clothing. No one at the office needs to know.

    • Custom 3D scanned to your exact body shape — not a generic fit
    • Engineered to actively correct your curve, not just stabilize it
    • Over-corrective design means your spine is being guided toward better alignment every hour you wear it
    • Adults wear it just 3–6 hours a day — fits into real life
    • Asymmetrical build matches the unique 3D nature of your specific curve
    • Spinal coupling technology for superior correction compared to old-school braces
    • No painful pressure points — eliminates the 3-point squeeze that makes traditional braces unbearable
    • Lightweight enough to wear during your normal daily routine
    • Discreet under work clothes — no one at the office will know
    • Padded for comfort during the hours you do wear it

    Testimonials
    What Our Patients Say

    • “I was having severe burning pain in the right leg, groin and gluts for several years. I had tried everything from reflexology to acupuncture to adjustments from chiropractors and only found temporary relief (approx 2 days). I couldn’t dance (which I love to do) anymore, some days I could barely walk and many nights no sleep due to the nonstop pain. Dr. Trosclair came visit my place of work one day and he mentioned spinal decompression so I decided to give him a chance. It is an absolute miracle what 10 visits have done for my physical and emotional well-being! I have no more pain! I do not have to take Advil all day long. I sleep and can walk 45 minutes per day! And I Can DANCE!!!

    • At 75 years old, I was struggling with severe scoliosis and arthritis, making it impossible for me to continue my work as a painter, even though I could sell my paintings for $10,000 each. After just 8 weeks of the taping technique, my pain is gone, and I have regained flexibility, despite my scoliosis curve still being significant. You have truly given me my livelihood back.

    • I’ve had a Herrington rod in for 25+ years, have had chronic pain for 5+ years and tried other chiropractors, PT, and spine specialists/ortho. After almost giving up, I did lots of research and found Dr. Justin. After only one (very hands on) treatment, my pain has decreased and I’m very confident it will get even better after a few more visits. He is the first practitioner that really gave me hope and didn’t refer me to someone else. I can’t believe he is not more well known especially in the Scoliosis “community”.

    • I was wearing a Boston Brace and my curve kept getting worse over 18 months. I grew out of it and my parents decided to research other braces. After a short time in ScoliBrace my thoracic curve went from 33° to 23° and my lumbar curve went from 16° to 0°. At 14 years old, It’s amazing to see these changes. I just have to keep wearing the brace all the time.

    • My original curve was Thoracic 47° , lumbar 39°. After two months in the brace and an extra corrective pad my curves are now thoracic 28° , lumbar 22°. I do my exercises everyday and I mix them up so I don’t get bored. I’m hopeful that it will continue to improve and avoid surgery.

    Objections to Bracing

    We offer different option

    Are you suffering from scoliosis and experiencing pain in your spine? Don’t let your condition go untreated and potentially worsen. Many people don’t want to wear a body brace but need an alternative treatment option. While ScoliBrace combined with Scoli Balance is the best option, we get it, some people just can’t wear it for a variety of reasons. Our clinic offers Scolibalance, that can help alleviate pain and bring about 3D changes in the spines of both children and adults as well as the innovative German Taping Technique and Scoliroll. When injections and surgery aren’t options, now you have hope with a new plan.

    One thing we know for certain, adjustments alone don’t work. Scoliosis progression, a worsening curve, is bound to happen if you just do a ‘wait and see’ approach. Adults know leaning to one side or hunched over (hyper-kyphosis) is not comfortable and creates a fall risk.

    • Can’t Wear With Work Uniforms
    • Too Hot and Sweaty
    • Painful to wear
    • Limits Movements
    • Difficult to Sleep In
    • Interfers with Work Duties
    • Scolibalance is a SOSORT guided technique that can help alleviate scoliosis pain and bring about 3D changes in the spines of both children and adults.

    • Our clinic’s comprehensive approach to scoliosis treatment combines corrective motions, exercises, and mild home traction.
    • Call us today to see if Dr. Trosclair can help you get relief from your scoliosis and hunched over symptoms.

    Scolibalance focuses on resetting abnormal muscle patterns by the doctor guiding you through specific postural corrections tailored to your exact spine, performing spinal adjustments, percussion massage and using kinesiology tape to support new corrections. By relaxing overly tight problem areas and waking up overly stretched areas, we can help your body reset to what is actually normal.

    As an adult, you still have all the above issues with wearing a brace, but now you are at a work place and have to wear more appropriate clothing. Sure, adults aren’t going to tease you like a 12 year old but it gets old explaining why you are wearing it and feels like an invasion of privacy talking about your back pain and how you can’t do the things you like anymore.

    Spinal adjustments are not enough to see postural corrections in scoliosis. What Dr. Justin learned in Germany is quite unique and we’ve seen results without braces.  Combining that with ScoliBalance and ScoliRoll and it’s mirror image postural corrections, exercises and traction, the results have been astonishing. He offers a unique service in the Lafayette, LA area (as well as MS, AK, AL, TN, OK and LA).  Dr. Trosclair offers 1 on 1 care and not a rushed appointment.

    What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You at Your Last Appointment.”

    Most adults with scoliosis leave their doctor’s office with one of three responses: come back in six months, try physical therapy, or start talking about surgery. What rarely comes up is the middle ground — the non-surgical tools that have been shown to reduce curves, relieve chronic pain, and stop progression even in adult spines.
    Download the free Adult Scoliosis Solutions Guide and find out what that middle ground actually looks like — bracing options designed for adult life, the German Taping Technique, corrective exercises built for decades-old curves, and the questions worth asking before you agree to anything permanent.
    Because “let’s just watch it” is not a treatment plan. And surgery shouldn’t be the first alternative.

    Alternative to Bracing

    Not Every Solution Requires a Brace

    drjustintrosclair.com%2Fwp content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F05%2Ffused spine

    We know that for many adults and seniors, the idea of wearing a rigid, bulky brace is a non-starter. Perhaps it interferes with your professional wardrobe, feels suffocating in our climate, or simply makes daily tasks like sleeping or working feel impossible.
    We hear you. And here is the good news: You do not always need a traditional brace to see real, postural improvement.
    If you have been told that surgery is not an option, or if you have reached your limit with injections that no longer provide relief, there is still hope. We offer a comprehensive, non-surgical path that respects your lifestyle and your privacy.

    The Alternatives: Freedom That Fits Your Life

    You deserve a plan that works with your life, not against it. That is why we specialize in two powerful, brace-free alternatives designed specifically for adults:
    1. The Scoliosis Activity Suit: Exercise in Motion If you want to stabilize your spine without the “harness” feel of a brace, the Activity Suit is a game-changer.
    The Routine: You only wear it for about one hour a day while you go about your normal routine or perform your prescribed exercises.
    The Science: It acts as wearable exercise equipment, gently retraining your muscles to hold your spine in better alignment. It’s perfect for the adult who needs structural support but refuses to be tied down by a 24/7 bracing schedule.

    German Scoliosis Taping: Amazing Results for Pain Relief

    Developed in Germany, this technique has become a lifeline for our patients. If you are struggling with chronic pain and feel like you have run out of options, this is your next step.
    Invisible Support: The tape is applied directly to your skin and worn for up to 5 days. It is so discreet that you can wear it under your work clothes—no one will ever know it’s there.
    Pain-Free Living: By supporting weak muscles and reducing tension in tight areas, this method offers immediate relief. Patients often tell us, “Something is different—I feel taller and straighter.”
    Shower-Friendly: It’s moisture-wicking and comfortable, making it the perfect solution for our active, humid Louisiana climate.

    Why “Wait and See” is Not a Plan

    If you have scoliosis, ignoring it is a gamble. As we age, curves that were manageable in youth tend to progress by about 1 to 2 degrees every year, especially if the curve is over 30 degrees.
    Left untreated, this leads to:
    Increased Fall Risk: As the spine leans, your balance shifts, making every step less stable.
    Chronic Discomfort: The “daily grind” of life creates pressure, leading to pain in the low back, between the shoulders, and the neck.
    Postural Collapse: That “hunched over” look (hyper-kyphosis) doesn’t just affect how you look; it affects how you breathe and how much energy you have throughout the day.

    Your Roadmap to Relief

    You don’t have to live in pain, and you don’t have to wear a brace if it doesn’t fit your life. At the Scoliosis Center of Louisiana, Dr. Trosclair provides a one-on-one, customized approach that combines:

    • Corrective Spinal Adjustments to increase flexibility.
    • Percussion Massage to target specific, tight muscle groups.
    • ScoliBalance Corrective Exercises to stabilize your 3D curve.

    Timing is Crucial: Early Intervention Before Rapid Growth Can Be The Difference of Surgery or Not

    Understanding Scoliosis: Early Action Matters

    Scoliosis is a condition where the spine develops a side-to-side curve and a slight twist. It can affect anyone at any age and happens in different parts of the back. Because a small curve can worsen over time, catching it early is the best way to prevent future problems.
    The Stages of Scoliosis:
    Mild (10° to 25°): There is a 22% chance this curve will get worse. Common signs include a head that tilts to one side, uneven shoulders or hips, or one leg seeming shorter than the other.
    Moderate (26° to 40°): The risk of progression jumps to 68%. Symptoms often include a more noticeable rib hump, increased fatigue after being active, and occasional headaches or back pain.
    Severe (Above 40°): With a 90% risk of the curve growing, the spine appears visibly curved, and the body may look rotated. This often leads to more significant pain, tiredness, and clumsiness.
    We believe in a proactive approach. Whether you are dealing with a new diagnosis or a long-term issue, starting a personalized treatment plan today is the best way to protect your spine for years to come.

    Hyperkyphosis and Scheuermann’s Disease are the hunching over appearance in the mid back or thoracic area. It too can be treated using our scoliosis methods.

    Your Path to Relief Starts Now

    Are you ready to see a change? Most of our patients notice measurable improvements within the first 3 to 6 months of care.

    Our unique method works in three steps:
    Relax: We identify and treat tight muscles so they can finally let go.
    Activate: We “wake up” weak or stretched muscles to help your body regain its natural strength and balance.
    Support: We use a custom kinesiology taping technique to hold those new, corrected patterns in place, providing consistent pain relief and stability.
    If you are located in Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas, Kentucky, or the Houston area, we are here for you. Don’t wait for your curve to progress—call us at (337) 453-5199 to schedule your consultation

    FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

    Your #1 adult objection. Answer: goals shift from correction to pain relief, stability, fall prevention.  It is never too late to improve your quality of life. While we may not be able to “undo” years of growth like we can in children, we have helped many adults reduce their pain, stand taller, improve their balance, and stop their curves from getting worse.

    Absolutely. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach to scoliosis care, and we are committed to collaborating with other healthcare professionals involved in your child’s treatment. This may include orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, or other specialists as needed. By working together, we can ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for your child’s scoliosis.

    Activity Suit is the perfect answer here — designed to wear while moving. Yes. Our goal is to help you stay independent. Many of our patients continue their normal work and hobbies during treatment. We offer discreet options, like our German Taping Technique, so you can receive support without interrupting your daily life.

    Your child’s unique needs are our top priority. We believe in providing individualized care for each patient, including personalized treatment plans for scoliosis. During the initial assessment, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child’s condition, taking into account factors such as the severity of the curvature, their age, growth and progression potential, overall health, and specific goals. Based on this assessment, we will develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs, aiming to provide the most effective and targeted care.

    When your spine is out of alignment, your muscles have to work overtime just to keep you upright. By restoring proper alignment and balance, we reduce muscle strain, stop the “pain alerts” in your nervous system, and help you regain your center of gravity.

    It depends on your unique curve and goals. While some patients see great results with exercises and our German Taping Technique alone, others with more significant curves benefit from a brace. We will create a personalized roadmap based on your specific spine.

    Scoliosis management is an ongoing journey. Our goal is to stabilize your spine and improve your posture so you can live a pain-free life. While you may not need “active” treatment forever, our home-care plans help you maintain the corrections you have worked hard to achieve.
