My son has to wear the brace full time but he hasn't been able to fall asleep in it. I have looked on SPD message boards and scoliosis boards and never found any posters who had both sensory issues and scoliosis. I would love for someone to tell me how my son can get used to pain so that it doesn't distract him and he can actually fall asleep in it. His first orthotist told him that most people can get used to the pain. He is still trying. He is not giving up.
