Brace for Impact
The Need:
The cost of a scoliosis brace can range between $3,000 to $10,000. Since braces are custom-fitted and often replaced multiple times as the patient grows to skeletal maturity, the cost of treatment can become unaffordable if not fully covered by insurance.
Covered Expenses:
Brace For Impact covers the uninsured costs of custom-fitting and manufacturing scoliosis braces (and related expenses) for in-need patients.
The Funding Process:
We raise funds from brace manufacturers and also contribute directly from BraceTrack. To date we have contributed:
$135,000
Our Partners:
We provide funds directly to scoliosis treatment centers who in turn provide braces to their uninsured patients. Our partner centers include:
