Olivia SHares her story -
Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm 10 years old. I have a condition called scoliosis, it's where your spine isn't as straight as everyone else's. My curve is around 20 degrees on bottom and top. I was devastated when I found out I had it, because I thought I would have to have surgery. But, my curve wasn't as bad. My doctor found my scoliosis at my 9 year old check-up. Now, I'm 10 and on my second brace. A back brace isn't bad but isn't pleasant. When you first get your brace, the first few nights can be very hard to sleep. My mom had to come and lay down with me so I actually could fall asleep. But, after a few weeks with my brace I got used to it. I can sleep better because my mom bought me this special mattress that feels like memory foam. The hard part about my brace is that I play softball. This is hard because I get less time in my brace. So, I have to make up by wearing it all day. I laugh sometimes because I remember how hard it was when I first got it. For example, going to the bathroom, sitting down, car rides, etc. It will be hard sometimes but everything gets better. So to the girls that first get their brace, just remember, you're bent not broken.
XOXO,
Olivia F
A note from Pat Rogel, Olivia's orthotist: Olivia uses her time out of the brace to stay active. This is very important for all people with scoliosis. She is nearly perfect with her compliance, as well. This combination is the best hope for successfully preventing scoliosis from worsening and needing surgery. She is now 13 and her scoliosis has improved over the years.

Fabrication of a custom spinal brace most often utilizes computer aided design. After we take measurements and a 3-D scan, the brace is custom made for your spine. It is then carved using CAM.

iButton Compliance Monitoring
It is becoming more common for physicians to request a compliance monitor be put in a scoliosis back brace as part of scoliosis treatment. . In the past we had no way to know how much the scoliosis brace was actually being used. Now we have objective data to show us the amount of wear. And, it give a nice report for the family and physician. Tatum is holding her report which shows excellent compliance.
