Why Catching Scoliosis Before the Growth Spurt Changes Everything

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.

Worried About Bracing? Here’s What Parents Ask Us Most

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.

Adjustments (No twisting available)

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.

ScoliBrace: 100% Custom 3D Bracing

Say goodbye to the archaic ‘squeeze and hope’ method of traditional braces. ScoliBrace is engineered from a contactless 3D BraceScan to actively push your spine toward correction—not just hold it in place. Lightweight, discreet, and built for your exact body.

Childhood Scoliosis Treatment

When it comes to a child’s spine, the ‘wait and see’ approach is the most dangerous game you can play. By catching the curve before or during a growth spurt, we implement over-corrective treatments to reverse progression and keep spinal fusion surgery off the table.

Protect Your Child’s Spine

Adult & Elderly Scoliosis Care

Scoliosis doesn’t stop at 18—and neither should your care. For adults and seniors, our goal is rapid pain relief, restoring balance to prevent dangerous falls, and utilizing part-time bracing (just 3-6 hours a day) to stop the spine from degenerating further.

Reclaim Your Life from Pain
scoli cert picture

A study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research found that elderly individuals with severe hyperkyphosis have a 1.44 times higher risk of falls and subsequent fractures. These falls often lead to hip fractures, which carry a troubling 25-30% mortality rate in the first year post-injury. Additionally, increased forward head posture strains neck muscles, leading to chronic pain and further balance issues.

ScoliBalance Corrective Exercises

Traditional physical therapy wasn’t built for scoliosis. ScoliBalance is. By combining the world’s top 5 researched methods (including Schroth) into one 3D corrective program, we retrain your brain and muscles to hold a straighter position automatically.

Explore ScoliBalance

The German Scoliosis Taping Technique

Imagine a 24/7 posture coach that you wear under your clothes. Mastered by Dr. Justin over two years in Germany, this specialized tape wakes up weak muscles and relieves aching backs instantly—without the bulk of a hard brace. Patients call it ‘magic.’

Hyperkyphosis (Hunchback) Treatment

Telling someone with hyperkyphosis to ‘just stand up straight’ doesn’t work because it’s a structural problem, not just a bad habit. From teens with Scheuermann’s Disease to seniors losing their balance, our KyphoBrace and extension exercises actively rebuild your upright posture.

Scoliosis is First found in children

The 4 Treatment Paths
for Childhood Scoliosis —
And Which One
Actually Corrects the Curve

Wait and See

“Hope the curve stops on its own… but what if it doesn’t?”
Waiting is missing your greatest window of opportunity. In a single growth spurt, a “small” curve can become a “mandatory brace” curve in under 6 months. We don’t wait for things to get worse; we act while the spine is easier and less costly to manage.

Special Scoliosis Exercises

“Active correction that works with the body, not against it.”
Most general PTs teach basic stretching, but “tight vs. weak” is just scratching the surface. To see a real reduction, you need ScoliBalance—specific mirror-image exercises designed to over-correct the spine’s position and retrain the brain to hold it there.

A 100% Custom Brace Built for Correction, Not Just Stability—So They Can Live Like a Normal Kid.

“The only brace designed to push the curve back, not just hold it in place.”
Traditional Boston braces just “hold” the curve to stop it from getting worse. Our 3D CAM/CAD ScoliBrace is custom-designed to put the curve in the opposite direction. This allows the child’s spine to actually improve as they grow, rather than just surviving the growth spurt.

Surgery with Rods and Screws

“Effective for severe cases, but it’s permanent—and it should be the last conversation, not the first.”
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. Fusing the spine with rods and screws changes a child’s life forever. While it is necessary for fast-progressing curves that threaten organ function, our goal is to provide every non-surgical tool available to keep your child under the 55° surgical threshold..

thoracolumbar scoliosis ScoliNight s

Success in scoliosis care isn’t about watching the curve—it’s about moving it in the opposite direction while you still have the chance.

Do You Suspect Scoliosis or a Hunched Posture?

Early Detection is Crucial: Signs to look for in your kids. If you see them, call the office.
scoliosis screening

Scoliosis is a common condition affecting 3-4% of people in North America, causing an abnormal “S” curvature of the spine. While it can affect anyone, it is most commonly diagnosed during puberty (females age 8-12, males age 10-14).

Early detection is your greatest weapon. By catching it early, we can successfully manage the condition, prevent severe back pain in adulthood, and actively work to keep the curve under the 55° surgical threshold.

ScoliBalance: Beyond Traditional PT

Advanced Bracing & Support

We provide tools that work with your life, not against it.

  • The ScoliBrace: A 3D CAM/CAD custom-designed brace built for correction, not just stability. It’s discreet enough to be hidden under school clothes.
  • Exclusive German Taping: A unique technique mastered by Dr. Justin in Germany. This specialized tape stays on for 5 days (even in the shower) to provide constant postural support without anyone knowing it’s there.
  • ScoliRoll: Specialized home traction to improve spinal flexibility and de-rotation.

A Specialized Clinical Perspective

roll 3

ScoliRoll® | 20 Minutes a Day for a Flexible Spine

Think of the ScoliRoll® as “braces for your back” while you rest. It is a specialized foam orthotic designed by the experts at ScoliCare.

The Tech: The patented “Denneroll Peak” creates a precise bending force that de-rotates the spine, making your brace and exercises twice as effective

The Benefit: A stiff spine is hard to fix. By laying on the ScoliRoll for just 20 minutes a day, you stretch tight ligaments and “un-stick” your curves.

Here is the problem with most scoliosis treatment: you make progress in the clinic and then life happens — and by your next visit, the muscles have tightened right back up. ScoliRoll was designed to close that gap.

It is a foam traction device built around a patented Denneroll peak that gently de-rotates your curve and stretches the muscles and ligaments that have shortened and stiffened around it. You lay on it for 20 minutes a day — while watching TV, listening to a podcast, or just resting. It works while you do nothing.

  • De-rotates the curve and improves spinal flexibility
  • Stretches ligaments that have locked into a crooked position over time
  • Works as a diagnostic tool — shows Dr. Justin how correctable your curve actually is
  • Available in lumbar and thoracic versions matched to your specific curve
  • Lightweight, portable, and durable enough for daily use
  • Note: not suitable for patients with osteoporosis

ScoliBrace® : The Gold Standard in 3D Correction

ScoliBrace Most braces are like a cage—they just “hold” you in place. The ScoliBrace is a power tool designed to actually move your spine. Using 3D laser scanning, we create a brace that fits your body perfectly because it was literally made for you.

Why it’s better: It doesn’t just squeeze from the sides; it fixes the rotation of your spine for a better look and less pain.
The Benefit: It uses “Over-Correction” to push the curve the opposite way, helping your spine grow straighter while you live your life.
The Tech: High-speed 3D scanning and “Spinal Coupling” ensure the brace is comfortable, lightweight, and almost invisible under your clothes.

Every other brace on the market was designed to stop your curve from getting worse. ScoliBrace was designed to make it better. That one distinction changes everything about how the brace works, how it fits, and what shows up on your next X-ray.

Using BraceScan 3D scanning technology, every ScoliBrace is built from a digital map of your exact body — your curve, your rotation, your asymmetry. The brace is then engineered to apply corrective force in precisely the right direction for your specific spine. Not a generic fit. Not three pressure points squeezing from the sides. A custom tool built for one job: moving your curve toward correction.

  • 100% custom — built from a 3D scan of your exact body
  • Overcorrective design pushes the spine toward correction during every hour of wear
  • Front-opening so kids can put it on independently
  • Lightweight, padded, and discreet under school clothes or work attire
  • Available in colors and patterns kids actually choose to wear
  • Spinal coupling technology for superior 3D correction vs traditional braces
  • Clinical results: up to 63% in-brace correction vs 48% national average

See the full ScoliBrace page — technology, Boston vs RIGO vs ScoliBrace comparison, and patient results.

Two Additional Tools for Curve Correction and Daily Pain Relief

CMP Brace

Proven 3D Correction at an Accessible Price Point

brace alternative

You deserve a straight spine regardless of your budget. The CMP Brace is our clinically-proven, accessible alternative to the ScoliBrace.

The Tech: It uses 3D CAD/CAM technology and 31 specific curve patterns to treat your spine from all three dimensions, not just the sides.
The Benefit: It’s a reliable partner in your treatment, proven in 25 independent trials to reduce curves and help kids avoid surgery.

ScoliBrace is our gold standard. But not every family has the same budget — and the CMP Brace was built for exactly that reality. It is not a compromise. It is a clinically validated alternative backed by 25 independent trials that uses the same 3D correction principles without the premium price tag.

The CMP Brace uses CAD/CAM technology and 31 specific curve classifications to treat your spine in all three dimensions. It addresses rotation — not just the sideways curve — which puts it in a completely different category from the old-school Boston Brace.

  • 3D CAD/CAM technology with 31 curve classifications
  • Treats the spine in all three dimensions, not just side-to-side
  • Proven in 25 independent clinical trials
  • More accessible price point than ScoliBrace
  • Still actively corrective — not just stabilizing

Compare ScoliBrace vs CMP Brace side by side on our ScoliBrace page.

Scoliosis Activity Suit

For When a Rigid Brace Does Not Fit Your Life

activity suit run

If you struggle with the daily ache of adult scoliosis—or live too far away for weekly clinic visits—this is your solution. It’s not a brace; it’s wearable exercise equipment.

The Tech: This is the “Long-Distance Solution.” At under $1,000, it’s a perfect way to stabilize your spine and find relief without sacrificing your freedom.
The Benefit: You wear it for 1–5 hours a day while you walk or work. It pulls your body into a better position, giving you more energy and less pain.

Not everyone can wear a hard brace at work, in the heat, or with a demanding schedule. The Scoliosis Activity Suit was designed for those patients — adults who need active correction but need it to happen in the background of a real life.

It is wearable exercise equipment, not a brace. You put it on for 1 to 5 hours a day while you walk, work, or run errands. As you move, it uses dynamic tension to retrain the muscles that have been holding your spine crooked for years. Progress happens during your normal day — no extra time required.

  • Worn 1–5 hours during normal daily activity
  • Dynamic tension retrains muscles through movement rather than holding the spine still
  • Under $1,000 — the most budget-friendly active correction option we offer
  • Ideal for patients who live 2+ hours away and cannot make regular clinic visits
  • No plastic, no heat, no bulk
  • Pairs well with ScoliBalance home exercises between visits

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. Thank you.
    Mrs. Tanaka
    Artist
  • 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”.
    Duplantis
    Teacher
  • 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.
    Harson, J
    14 year old male
  • 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.

ScoliBalance: Exercise That Actually Changes Your Posture — Not Just Your Pain Level

General PT usually just stretches “tight” muscles. ScoliBalance is different. It’s a specialized medical program that combines the 5 best scoliosis therapies in the world (including Schroth) into one powerful system.
The Benefit: We teach your brain and muscles to hold a “new normal.” This stops the curve from getting worse and helps you stand taller.
The Tech: We use “Mirror-Image” exercises tailored to your specific curve. It’s a 3D workout that improves balance and reduces the risk of falls for older adults.

Most scoliosis patients have already tried stretching. Some have tried physical therapy. Neither moved the curve. ScoliBalance is different because it was built specifically for the three-dimensional nature of a scoliosis curve — not adapted from a general exercise program.

Dr. Justin is Level 2 certified through ScoliCare — the highest certification available. The program pulls from five of the most researched scoliosis therapy methods in the world, including Schroth, and filters them through SOSORT international guidelines. The result is a corrective exercise plan built around your exact curve pattern, your posture compensations, and your daily life.

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 Every Parent Needs to Know About Scoliosis — Before the Next Growth Spurt

Scoliosis is a sideways curve and rotation of the spine. It ranges from mild to severe — and the degree of the curve determines how urgently it needs to be treated.
Here is the part most families don’t hear until it’s too late: the growth spurt is the most critical window in your child’s entire scoliosis journey. In just 12–18 months of rapid growth, a small curve can double in size. That same window is also when bracing and corrective exercises work best.
The research is clear — waiting is not a safe treatment plan. Early intervention with the right brace and the right exercises gives your child the best chance of avoiding surgery.
Mild curves (10°–25°) — act now before the growth spurt makes the decision for you
Moderate curves (26°–40°) — bracing is the proven tool at this stage, and ScoliBrace outperforms traditional options
Severe curves (above 40°) — every non-surgical tool we have is focused on keeping your child below the 55° surgical threshold
Want the full breakdown of severity levels, growth windows, and what the research says about bracing? → Read the complete guide on our Children’s Scoliosis page.
