Treatment Success
The LA 3D Brace is the most advanced scoliosis brace technique available anywhere in the world. Overall its success rate is far superior to all other bracing systems:
Studies of 3D bracing have consistently shown results to be superior to “Standard” bracing.
The preliminary Study performed by J. Kessler MD showed surgery rates for The LA Brace™ to be as low as 5-10% compared with an average of about 30% for all other bracing at specialized centers, 40% for orthotic general practice and 50% for no-bracing.

Our own study of 112 patients fit at the LA Brace study yielded a surgery rate of 11%
Part of the success of The LA Brace™ is due to its more developed classification system. The LA Brace™ classification system defines scoliosis into 10 different patterns. For the sake of simplicity, we have grouped different classes together to present results in a much more simplified manner as just:
Adult scoliosis;
We classify adults as a separate grouping. Adults with scoliosis have different needs and require a different design of brace. Our goals of treatment are pain relief and minimization of curve progression.
