The essential nonsurgical treatment for AIS is bracing, whose objective is to minimize the requirement for surgical or other major medical procedure by constraining curve movement. Numerous scoliosis curve lines in AIS that are less than 20° can be screened and further followed by with serial radiographs or other clinical examinations at an interval of 6 months of cycle until skeletal development.
As indicated by National Scoliosis Foundation (NSF), around 2 to 3% of the overall population is experiencing scoliosis in U.S. Around six to nine million individuals are suffering from this disorder. More than 600,000 patient visits to private clinics and hospitals every year, around of 30,000 young people are utilizing braces, and nearly 38,000 patients have experienced spinal surgical & other medical procedures.

"Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis (TLSOs) Brace Segment is expected to Register Higher Growth by the End of 2026"
In the past decade, various studies and research have shown that the regular history of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be emphatically influenced by non-operative treatment, particularly bracing. Different types of treatment, for example, osteopathic or chiropractic therapy, needle therapy (acupuncture), exercise or other manual medications, or diet and nourishment, have not yet been ended up being compelling in controlling spinal deformities in scoliosis management. Nonoperative treatment with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is broadly utilized. Scoliosis is mainly observed in around 3% of younger population less than 16 years old. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is usually observed in individuals 11 years old and above. Thoracolumbosacral orthosis braces are gaining traction across the globe and majorly utilized in the end user segment. Bracing treatment with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) is mainly indicated for skeletally juvenile patients with AIS with a bend normally 25 to 45°.
Numerous types of TLSOs have been manufactured around the world, for example: Boston, Providence, Wilmington and Rosenberg braces in North America, TLSO Hiroshima in Japan, Chêneau and Sforzesco braces in Europe, and OMC (Osaka Medical College) brace, CBH (Chiba brace high type), and others. The custom-made TLSOs are also in demand for the right reflex arrangement, mainly for the active correction of the upper thoracic curve. The fundamentals of custom made braces are characterized by its unremarkable design, lightweight, lessening of restriction on chest wall movement, and capability to precise the high thoracic curve by restoring the reflex in the body. However, few complications occur during the overall treatment cycle, such as physiological disturbance, skin color change, irritation, and other problems related to respiratory.

"The Hospitals & Clinics Segment is expected to Register Higher Growth by the End of 2026"
As indicated by an article in the journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation in 2014, scoliosis is observed in around 3% of individuals all around the globe, most usually among young females. In addition, expanded use of healthcare service benefits by patients in hospitals with scoliosis conditions, adoption of new 3D printing technology products, braces with tracking devices and major utilization of customized braces is driving development of the worldwide scoliosis management market. For example, as indicated by the United Sates Bone and Joint Initiative report, in 2011, around 229,000 individuals were hospitalized with scoliosis conditions. Higher cost of treatment, surgery and therapy cost along with less outcomes in various scoliosis cases are hampering the development of scoliosis management market. For example, as indicated by a research study in the Spine journal 2010, the normal mean expenses of nonsurgical care for scoliosis management were assessed to be as high as US$ 14,000 for length of 2 years. The average costs to the patient for scoliosis surgery is around US$110,000.
