A parallel with traditional corseting is found in brace treatment for scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine). Here the compression is at the same level as tight traditional corseting. It requires about the same period to get used to,similar to figure training with 4" to 6" waist reductions. The usual treatment period is during the teenage years and concludes in early adulthood. The effectiveness of these braces is a direct function of the duration worn and the degree of tightness that can be tolerated by the wearer.
