Sarmiento brace

The Sarmiento brace is a specialized medical device used to treat thoracic scoliosis, a condition where the spine curves sideways. It is made of lightweight materials shaped to fit the torso and is worn around the chest and hips. The brace applies gentle pressure to help straighten the spine over time, especially in growing adolescents. Its design allows for movement while providing support, aiming to prevent the curve from worsening and improve posture. The Sarmiento brace is used under medical supervision as part of non-surgical scoliosis management.
