Ortho Stim

OrthoStim is a Canadian medical device company focused on developing non-invasive treatments for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The company's lead product, O-Stim, utilizes functional electrical stimulation (FES) to target and strengthen paraspinal muscles, aiming to halt or reverse spinal curvature without the need for rigid bracing or invasive surgery. By providing a more comfortable and less stigmatizing alternative to traditional treatments, OrthoStim seeks to improve compliance and clinical outcomes for young patients. The technology is based on clinical research demonstrating the efficacy of surface electrical stimulation in stabilizing spinal deformities.
