What is scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity—it
involves not only a side-to-side curve, but also rotation and changes in the
natural front-to-back curves of the spine.
Because of this 3D component, scoliosis can affect posture, breathing
mechanics, muscle balance, and how the body distributes load during standing
and walking.
In mild to moderate cases, scoliosis is often not
associated with back pain or fatigue, especially in children and
adolescents.
However, when spinal deformity becomes severe, it can lead to compression
of internal organs (viscera) and, in extreme cases, may impact overall
health and life expectancy.
Types and prevalence of scoliosis
Idiopathic scoliosis accounts for approximately 80–90% of all cases, meaning no specific underlying cause is identified.
10–20% of cases have a known etiology, including:
Congenital scoliosis
Neuromuscular or neuropathic conditions
Approximately 1 in 20 children show some degree of spinal deformity.
Scoliosis shows a strong female predominance, with an estimated female-to-male ratio of 7:1, particularly in progressive cases.
Because scoliosis is often painless and subtle in early stages, it may go unnoticed without proper screening.
Our clinical approach
Our Scoliosis Clinic provides an individualized, posture-based management program using:
Schroth-based scoliosis-specific exercises, designed to address the 3D nature of spinal curvature and rotation
Scoliosis bracing, when indicated, to support postural alignment
Customized
orthotics/insoles, when lower-extremity or pelvic asymmetry contributes to
spinal imbalance
At-Home Self-Check: Signs to Watch For
If you notice any of the following, a professional scoliosis screening may be helpful:
Uneven shoulder height(one shoulder consistently higher)
One shoulder blade protrudes more when viewed from behind (rib/shoulder blade prominence)
Uneven waistline or one side of the waist appears more “curved”
Pelvic height difference(one hip higher or one side of the pelvis shifts)
Body leaning to one side or asymmetrical posture in standing
Clothing fit changes(shirts/pants twisting or hems looking uneven)
Simple
home screening tip:
With knees straight, bend forward and let the arms relax. When viewed
from behind, look for one side of the ribcage or upper back appearing higher
than the other.
Balance Scoliosis Brace (BSB) System3D Customized Scoliosis Brace
The Balance Scoliosis Brace (BSB) System is a customized 3D scoliosis brace designed to support spinal balance and rotational alignment based on each individual’s unique body structure.
Using three-dimensional assessment and design technology, the BSB system focuses on supporting postural balance and reducing asymmetrical loading, rather than applying uniform or generalized correction.

Pre- and Post-Brace X-ray Comparison
Scoliosis management is individualized. Therapy and bracing aim to support posture, muscle balance, and functional alignment. Results vary by individual and do not guarantee elimination of spinal curvature.
