Spine Brace

I have scoliosis. What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is defined as a a progressive 3D deformation of the spine. In general, i think it is on the mild side, I have frequent mild pain and mobility limitation, aesthetically, i have a SHORT trunk - sniff. Thankfully, no one really notices as the fashion dictates long T-shirts these days... =)

After studying my biomedical engineering at McGill university, completing my thesis on a spine related topic, i very well know the consequences of a degenerated spine. Naturally, I am also well aware of the treatments available. In a way, i kind of stumbled onto this brace which i believe it is the first brace that has been introduced to adults. For kids, it has been shown to be useful and for adults, to date, great for pain management.

It has been a week since i started wearing this back brace. I am glad that now is winter, so i dont have to think too much about asthetics.. but i cant imagine wearing this all the time in summer...I am to theoraticcaly wear them for 20 hours per day. My next evaluation is on 18th Dec... Meanwhile, my tummy fats are constantly squeezed around.. maybe these fats will get tired of being squeezed and migrate to someone else.. *HEE* Secretly, i wish this brace will "cure" me of this back problem, realistically, it probably will just manage this problem and prevent further deterioration.

Anyhow.. for those people who have friends trying to find a way to relieve their scoliotic symptoms.. i do recommend them to check this brace out..
