What is Scheuermann’s Disease?

9. Bracing

Scheuermann's treatment may include a back brace if the curve is less than 75 percent. This treatment may also reduce pain, as the brace moves the front-facing vertebrae to a more upright position. However, an individual must have at least one year of bone growth remaining for this treatment to work, and he or she must wear the brace every day, for one to two years in most cases. Many people see about a 50 percent improvement in spinal curviture from this treatment.
