At LOC, we’ve been using the Cheneau-Gensingen brace for years to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It’s a non-surgical option that gently guides the spine into a better position, helping to correct posture and prevent the curve from worsening.

How does it compare to the Boston brace?

A recent study looked at how well the Cheneau-Gensingen brace works compared to the Boston brace, which is commonly prescribed by the NHS. The results were clear:

The Cheneau-Gensingen brace had a 92.9% success rate
The Boston brace had a 72% success rate
That’s a big difference. And it matches what we’ve seen in our own patients—the Cheneau-Gensingen brace is not only more effective, but it’s also more comfortable and discreet to wear.

Prevent scoliosis surgery with our bespoke bracing treatment

A bespoke brace can stop the progression of scoliosis and prevent the need for surgery in later life. LOC’s scoliosis brace works by gently and progressively guiding your spine into a more corrective position.

The LOC Scoliosis Brace is the most corrective scoliosis brace in the UK, with clinical findings showing an average in-brace correction of 85% when worn as prescribed.

“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.”
