View our privacy policyAt the London Orthotic Consultancy, we support adults with scoliosis through non-surgical care, including bespoke bracing and collaborative physiotherapy input. Our aim is to reduce discomfort, support posture, and help you move more comfortably in day-to-day life.
Scoliosis is often thought of as a condition that affects children and teenagers, but many adults experience it too. In adulthood, scoliosis can take different forms. Two common curve patterns are S-shaped (double curve) and C-shaped (single curve) scoliosis.
Adult scoliosis involves a sideways curve of the spine. It may develop during growth (idiopathic scoliosis) or later in life due to age-related changes in the spine (degenerative scoliosis). The curve can vary in shape and severity:

We offer a specialist non-surgical orthotics-led care pathway for teenagers and adults. If you have a diagnosis and any imaging reports or measurements from your clinical team, we can use these to inform orthotic brace design, fit and adjustment, alongside your wider medical care pathway.
Our approach includes:
Our scoliosis bracing treatment involves a custom-made brace, designed using 3D scanning and CAD/CAM technology to realign the spine as effectively and discreetly as possible.

We work in partnership with SOS to offer exercise programs tailored to adult scoliosis. These support muscle rebalancing and enhance brace outcomes.
Patients wearing a The LOC Scoliosis Brace are offered regular reviews and repeat 3D surface scans to support brace fit, comfort and wearability over time. We may also review any updated measurements provided by your medical team to help guide orthotic adjustments. We do not provide radiology or diagnostic imaging reports.
Over the years, we’ve supported many adults with scoliosis, including idiopathic and degenerative cases. Here are two examples:
Sinead’s story: adult idiopathic scoliosis
Sinead wore a custom Chêneau–Gensingen style brace as part of her care plan. She reported improvements in day-to-day comfort and posture over the first few months.
Degenerative scoliosis in adulthood
Another patient chose LOC Scoliosis Bracing as part of their non-surgical care plan and reported improvements in comfort and functional posture The brace not only relieved pain but also improved functional posture, helping restore quality of life.

If you are concerned about scoliosis or have already been diagnosed, our orthotic team can talk you through bracing options, what information we need from your medical team, and what follow-up might look like.

A bespoke brace can help reduce the risk of progression during growth and support curve management as part of a wider care plan. Our brace works by gently guiding your spine into a more corrective in-brace position, with follow-up and adjustments to support fit and comfort.
“LOC has been fantastic, friendly, understanding. Anna did not pull any punches about the wearing regime and gave us all the information we needed. Polly was in her brace for less than two years. LOC has provided a really incredible service.”
Zoe, Polly’s mother – Scoliosis patient (adolescent)
