Unique Method for Scoliosis
You're Picking The Right Clinic
Below is the summary of this whole page
Early Detection
Most people know when they have scoliosis and early detection and treatment yields the best results. For adults, we take care of you whether it started from youth or old age degeneration.
Benefits of Treatment Here
Your posture will improve, slow or reduce the scoliosis curves from getting worse (avoiding surgery), and you'll have less pain and discomfort.
Objections to Bracing
Bracing can be too hot, painful to wear or embarrassing in front of others, so we offer a German Taping Technique to compliment the exercises.This taping method won't fix your curve but it's directly on your skin, no bulky brace and helps alleviate pain.
Our Unique Method
ScoliBalance® is used to teach over-correction posture and exercises. Also, a taping method developed in Germany that uses your own biomechanics to straighten posture can be used. The 3D asymmetric mirror image ScoliBrace® is also used and is a top recommendation.
Brace Treatment
A 3d CAM/CAD Over Corrective brace like ScoliBrace actually is 100% custom made to your body size and curves. It consistently reduces the curves because it puts the curve in the opposite direction. Stopping surgery isn't enough, let's reduce the curves.

Scoliosis is First found in children
Common Scoliosis Treatment for Children
Wait and See
The earlier you find scoliosis in a kid, the better chances of stopping the progression. Waiting and seeing if it gets worse is missing a great window of opportunity to start care while it is easier and less costly to manage. It's common for a curve to go from small to mandatory brace in 6 months if the child had a growth spurt.
3d CAM/CAD OverCorrective Bracing
Not all scoliosis braces are made the same, and they don't all work. A common type of brace is a 3-point Boston brace. It just holds the curve in place while you grow, it can still get worse, but stops the need for surgery. However, a 3d CAM/CAD Over Corrective brace like ScoliBrace actually is 100% custom made to your body size and curves. It consistently reduces the curves because it puts the curve in the opposite direction. The child's curve actually improves with the brace while he/she grows.
Special Scoliosis Exercies
Most physical therapists and chiropractors learned the bare minimum in scoliosis exercise and stretching. Stretch the tight side and strengthen the weak side is barely scratching the surface and while general strength and flexibility is important, this approach will not suffice. You need a certification like ScoliBalance that can create mirror image -over-correction exercises to see a real and lasting difference in curve reduction.
Surgery with Rods and Screws
This option should be the last resort or for those curves that are just progressing to fast especially at a young age or causing distress to organs. While the special exercises and braces are effective for most people, there are instances where we just can't help. I've had patients like this and the rods and screws do change a persons life. Not to say they can't have a normal life, but fusing your spine will be a challenge in their adult life at some point.
Do you have scoliosis or Hunched Over Posture?
Early Detection
Scoliosis is a common condition that affects millions of people in North America (3-4%). It can be caused by a variety of factors, from genetics to injury to degeneration of the spine and most of all of unknown cause. The condition causes an abnormal “S” curvature of the spine that typically occurs in the mid back, low back or both. While scoliosis can affect anyone, it is most commonly diagnosed during puberty.
Early detection is crucial in managing scoliosis (females age 8-12, males age 10-14) and preventing it from causing significant back pain and other complications in adulthood.
Signs you can look for even as a parent are:
- one shoulder higher than the other,
- pants don’t lay even across the child’s hips,
- uneven shoulder blades
- one shoulder blade sticks out more (usually Right side)
- when bending over you see the ribs start to hump.
- (adult signs) hunched over, leans to one side or leans forward
While scoliosis can be a serious condition, scoliosis corrections can occur and can keep the curves under the 55° threshold for surgery.
Here are three key takeaways:
- Scoliosis is a common condition that affects millions of people in North America.
- Early detection is crucial in managing scoliosis and preventing it from causing significant back pain and other complications in adulthood.
- Seeking treatment from a specialist is important in managing scoliosis and ensuring the best possible outcome.
- This clinic is the only 1 in the surrounding 4 states (LA, MS, AK, OK, AL & Houston) to have the same ScoliCare® certifications.

ScoliRoll: A Reliable Aid for Increasing Spinal Flexibility
What is ScoliRoll?
ScoliRoll is a specialized scoliosis treatment device created by Denneroll Industries in partnership with ScoliCare. This innovative aid is designed to complement other scoliosis therapies, such as the physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercsises and fully customized to you ScoliBraces. Its patented Denneroll peak generates a precise bending force that helps de-rotate and straighten the spine, facilitating muscle and ligament stretching and enabling spinal stabilization exercises while maintaining a corrected position.
Additionally, ScoliRoll® serves as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the flexibility of scoliosis curves, providing clinicians with insights into the potential extent of curve correction achievable through rehabilitation or bracing.
How does it work?
The ScoliRoll utilizes its patented Denneroll peak to assist in:
- Straightening scoliosis curves
- De-rotating the spine
- Stretching ligaments, which is particularly beneficial for patients with stiff scoliosis curves to enhance spinal flexibility
Adults & Elderly Can Need A Brace Too
ScoliBrace for Adult & Elderly Scoliosis
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.
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.
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.
Preventing Progression
Scoliosis can worsen over time in adults, leading to more severe spinal curvature and potentially causing other health problems. A brace can help to prevent further progression of the condition and maintain the current level of curvature. We see many adults get over 6° correction, which is all a life changing surgery considers a success. In addition to preventing/slowing further progression of the condition, wearing a brace can also help to improve cosmetic appearance of the spine and less rib humping, which can be particularly important for individuals who are self-conscious about their scoliosis and how it affects their physical appearance.
Restore Balance - Prevent Falls
As people age, their balance and stability can naturally decline, making them more susceptible to falls and injuries. However, older adults with scoliosis may be at an even greater risk of falling due to the imbalance and uneven posture caused by the condition. If an older adult is hunched over or leaning to the side, this can also affect their center of gravity, making them more likely to lose their balance and fall. Falling can be especially dangerous for older adults, as they are more likely to experience fractures or other serious injuries, such as a hip fracture, which can lead to significant disability and a decrease in quality of life. Wearing a brace can provide support, stability, and restore balance to decrease their risk of falling and injuring themselves
Pain Relief
Scoliosis can cause chronic pain in the back, shoulders, and hips. A brace can help to relieve this pain by reducing the pressure on the spine and supporting the muscles and ligaments. Many adults did not know or did not receive proper treatment for scoliosis as a kid. The curve progresses about 1-2 degrees per year. After 30 years the curves can get quite severe and painful if left untreated. Wearing a brace gives you immediate support and the exercises build your spinal strength. Adults only wear it for 3-6 hours so it's convenient too.
Improving quality of life:
Scoliosis can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, affecting their physical abilities, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Treatment and a brace can help to improve overall quality of life by reducing pain, improving posture, and preventing further complications. Adults and elderly see a boost in self-esteem and confidence when they are upright and not leaned over.

Objections to Bracing
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
- Difficult to Sleep In
- Limits Movements
- 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.

Discover the pain-relieving and posture- improving benefits of the Unique Scoliosis Taping Technique developed in Germany.
Do you have scoliosis since childhood? Regardless if you wore the brace or not, as you age and life’s daily grind stacks up over the years, pain in the low back, between the shoulders and neck may have started creeping in. In fact, as time goes on you may find that the curve has slowly gotten worse, whether that’s because the curves are more visible to others or not. The fact is that curves from adolescent tend to worsen 1-2 ° per year especially if the curve is over 30°.
Scoliosis can be a frightening condition that can impact every aspect of your life. Scoliosis can lead to chronic pain, breathing difficulties, and even deformities that can be socially isolating. But the worst part is, if left untreated, scoliosis can get worse over time, coupled with arthritis, leading to more severe pain and discomfort.
If you’ve been struggling with scoliosis, you know how frustrating it can be to find relief. Exercise and stretching may seem like logical solutions, but they often fall short of providing lasting relief. That’s because scoliosis is not just a spinal issue; it’s a problem that involves the entire musculoskeletal system. In other words, you need a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the root cause of the problem.
At this stage of life (adults and seniors), wearing a brace is probably the best option but let’s face it,
- you may not want to alter your wardrobe
- answer others’ questions as to why you are wearing a brace
- you are worried about being hot (even though adults wear it only 3-6 hours a day)
- difficult to find time too wear it
- work duties are overly difficult with a brace
The Taping Technique I offer you was developed in Germany and I spent two years mastering it. We not only get pain relief and muscle support, but we see functional posture improvements. That means you look and feel straighter. It was common for family members to mention to our patients, “Something is different, you seem taller and straighter.”
This innovative German Taping Technique is placed directly on your skin that you wear for 5 days at a time and no one will know you are wearing it. There are no moving parts, no hot plastic around you and nearly everyone does not get an allergy to the tape, plus you can shower with it.
Not only is the method not visible to others, but it helps wake up and strengthen weak muscles, reduce tightness in joints, and retrain asymmetrical muscle development.
Combine the tape with spinal adjustments to increase flexibility, vibration massage to very specific muscles and corrective curve posture exercises from ScoliBalance (Dr. Justin is Certified), and you can see in adults that they stand taller and have better balance to reduce fall risks. While adults usually don’t have to worry about progressing to surgery, the curve does typically get worse by 2° each year. Because of the combined therapy options offered at Scoliosis Center of Louisiana, patients see the improvements they have been searching for and may have given up finding.

What Our Patients Say
Timing is Crucial: Early Intervention Before Rapid Growth Can Be The Difference of Surgery or Not
Understanding the Basics of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition in which an individual’s spine has lateral, or side to side curvature and rotation, and can occur at many levels of the spine.
80-85% of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, and scoliosis can also be classified as congenital or neuromuscular.
Scoliosis can be mild 10° to 25°, moderate 26° to 40° or severe above 40°, depending on the degree of the spinal curvature.
Mild scoliosis has a risk of progression 22% after curve reaches 20°, and symptoms include tilted head, uneven shoulders or hips, forward head posture, uneven leg lengths, and cosmetic deformity
Moderate scoliosis has a higher risk of progression (68%) than mild scoliosis, and symptoms include more uneven shoulders or hips, bigger rib hump, fatigue after physical activity, pain in the spine and headaches. Bracing is the most common treatment, over corrective braces like ScoliBrace work best.
Severe scoliosis has a 90% risk of progression, and symptoms include a visibly curved spine, torso rotation, rib hump, fatigue, clumsiness, pain, and headaches. Surgery is often recommended for severe scoliosis.

Growth and Interventions To Prevent Surgery
Non-surgical scoliosis treatment in children and adolescents
- Scoliosis treatment in children and adolescents can be done effectively without surgery, and no curve should be ignored.
- Comprehensive scoliosis treatment allows the child to stay in control of the scoliosis by addressing the root cause, using a brace and scoliosis exercises.
- Scientific research contradicts “watch and wait” as a safe treatment, and instead recommends early intervention comprising of physiotherapy and bracing to avoid surgery in most cases.
- The best treatment is prevention by treating scoliosis the moment it is discovered.
Utilizing growth spurt to straighten the spine
- Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis worsens rapidly with growth, but the pubertal growth spurt can be utilized to straighten the spine instead of allowing it to worsen.
- The faster a child grows, the faster scoliosis worsens/ progresses.
- The peak rates of growth occur within a very small time frame of 1.5 – 2.5 years, which is the window of opportunity. This is where most scoliosis cases are either won or lost.
Early detection and intervention
- The success rate of scoliosis treatment is directly related to how early treatment begins.
- The longer scoliosis is present, the more “stuck” it becomes due to ligaments and muscles becoming short and stiff, and bones becoming asymmetric.
- The younger the child and the larger the scoliosis, the greater the risk of progression.
- Determining a child’s Risser helps determine where they are in their growth, as well as their risk of progression.
- It is important to take into consideration multiple factors when assessing the risk of scoliosis progression and potential need for treatment, including the magnitude and pattern of the curve, age, gender, and skeletal maturity.
Bracing as an effective treatment option
- A brace is the only tool proven to work for curves over 25 degrees.
- Successful brace treatment depends on how straight the brace makes the spine.
- Multiple recent scientific studies have confirmed that bracing has been shown to be effective when worn 23/7.
- The smaller the curve can become before adulthood, the less it will potentially progress in adulthood.
- Non-surgical treatment options such as ScoliBrace, ScoliRolll traction device and specialized exercises, ScoliBalance, have been shown to be effective in preventing or slowing scoliosis progression and improving spinal alignment.
