The brace consists of a girdle that fits around the hips and three vertical bars that attach at the top to a neck ring and throat mold. Early models -made of leather and steel, and quite heavy-have given way to lightweight aluminum-and-plastic versions that are still neither attractive nor comfortable. But they do work, redirecting the growth of the spine to help it to grow straight. "Shoe lifts and exercises alone are not proper treatment for progressive scoliosis," says...
