Introduction
Scoliosis is a complex and often misunderstood condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. At Cascade Orthotics, we are committed to providing precise, compassionate, and proven orthotic solutions for individuals dealing with scoliosis. Our clinic, based in Calgary, has been serving the community since 1988, offering advanced technologies like 3D CAD/CAM and 3D printing to enhance patient outcomes.
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often in an ‘S’ or ‘C’ shape. It can affect individuals of any age but is most commonly diagnosed in adolescents. The causes of scoliosis are varied, ranging from congenital spine abnormalities to neuromuscular conditions.

Every scoliosis case is unique, requiring a personalized approach. During your initial consultation, we assess your goals, symptoms, and medical history. Our biomechanical assessment helps us determine the most effective treatment plan, whether it’s custom orthotic devices or other interventions.
Advanced Technology Integration
We utilize advanced technologies such as 3D scanning and CAD/CAM to create custom orthotic devices designed to fit precisely and comfortably. These technologies allow us to provide accurate in-brace corrections, visible at the fitting stage, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment.
Benefits of Orthotic Bracing for Scoliosis
Orthotic bracing plays a crucial role in managing scoliosis, particularly in adolescents. The primary goal of bracing is to prevent further curvature progression and avoid surgery. Custom braces are designed to fit the individual’s body shape, providing better support and comfort.
