For children and adolescents, the main goal of therapy is to stop or reverse curve progression. Bracing treatment is often involved in this process.

For adults, treatment is focused on pain relief, postural improvement, strengthening, modification of ergonomics, and postural habits to support curve stability and prevent progression of the curvature. Bracing can also be used for adults. The most popular forms of bracing are soft elastic braces for postural support. Yet, when indicated, rigid bracing can also be helpful.
